Coloured Canyon

The Colored Canyon extends 800 meters through limestone formations, with walls reaching heights of 40 meters in the Sinai Peninsula desert landscape.

The canyon emerged through millions of years of water erosion when the area was submerged beneath the Red Sea, creating deep channels in the rock.

Local Bedouin guides share their knowledge of the canyon's geology and natural features while leading visitors through the narrow pathways.

Visitors need to arrange transportation from Nuweiba or join guided tours as the canyon location requires navigation through desert terrain.

The mineral-rich rocks display natural patterns in sandstone and limestone, creating varied color formations that change with different light conditions.
