A slot canyon of red, gold, and cream sandstone folded through the Sinai desert — a half-day walk through rock.
Inland from Nuweiba, the Colored Canyon is a narrow chasm where iron and manganese have stained the sandstone into bands of red, ochre, and cream. It is a cool, shaded walk between towering walls, often finished with a desert lunch and a Bedouin tea. Easy underfoot, unforgettable to look at.
