Colored Canyon, Blue Hole & Dahab Day Trip from Sharm
Desert canyons in the morning, the Red Sea's deepest blue by afternoon — South Sinai, coast to canyon, in a single day.
The Blue Hole is one of the Red Sea's most famous dive sites, and Sinai's painted canyons were carved over millions of years. This trip threads both natural icons — deep-water reef and desert rock — into one coast-to-canyon day few tours combine.
Best for: thrill-seekers, active families, and snorkelers who want desert and sea in one day
Two famous canyons, the Red Sea's most legendary blue, and a quad bike to carry you between them — this is South Sinai distilled into a single day from Sharm El Sheikh.
You set out by jeep across open desert to the Colored Canyon, winding on foot through a narrow labyrinth of sandstone streaked in gold, rust and violet, then on to the Red Canyon where the rock seems to catch fire in the sun. Back on the coast, the legendary Blue Hole opens beneath you — a near-perfect ring of deep water rimmed with coral, where parrotfish and angelfish drift through reef gardens just below the surface.
Between the swims you ride a camel along the shore the way the Bedouin always have, share a grilled BBQ lunch in the shade by the sea, and open the throttle on a quad bike down the coastline. The day winds down in Dahab itself — barefoot and easygoing, its little promenade lined with cafés and craft shops where you can sip mint tea and watch the water turn gold.
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, your guide handles every detail, and you can reserve now and pay later with free cancellation up to 12 hours before. Two canyons, the Blue Hole, a camel ride, a BBQ lunch and the quad-bike run — one easy day, no middleman, best price.

The whole event was Amazing. the tour guide MUSTAFA was fantastic and very helpful. Made our family day very enjoyable. I will highly recommend.
This was an adventure filled day. All the activities were good. The extra adventure was the journey to the canyon, in that it was a bumpy ride across the sand dunes. This was fun! Points to note. Have to pay extra 5£€$ for the wetsuit. The lunch was just ok but the place was had a number of cats roaming around. So if you don't like cats like me then you could be uncomfortable during lunch. Day took longer than 8.5 hours more like 10.5 hours. Overall a good excursion because of all the different activities done during the day.
Mando en Mustafa waren perfect. Mando was zo professioneel en hij heeft verteld over het geschiedenis van Egypte. De activiteiten in Dahab waren zo leuk. De zee was zo mooi. De kameel rit was ook leuk aan de zee. Snorkelen hebben we niet gedaan. ATV rit was geweldig vooral de natuur. Bedankt voor alles.
Tarek una guida fantastica. Gentile e molto preparata. Eravamo nel gruppo Hola Hola ed é stato tutto perfetto, compreso la risoluzione immediata di un imprevisto.. Consigliatissimo A++
El único inconveniente que encontramos es haber de pagar por el equipo de snorkel (salvavidas, gafas, aletas, traje de neopreno) son unos 10€ por persona y cuesta que te lo rebajen, nos lo rebajaron a 16€ los dos porque no queríamos las gafas ya que teníamos unas nuestras. El personal muy agradable, la comida pasable, MUY RECOMENDADO HACERSE FOTOS CON RAMADAN (fotógrafo) hace fotos muy buenas la verdad. Falta un poco de aire condicionado en la furgoneta pero la excursión es muy chula y la recomendamos 100%. Sobretodo es importante llevarse bastante dinero ya que hay que contar que pagas una tasa del gobierno de 1€ por persona y el equipo de snorkel 10€ por persona. El paseo en quad y en camello son breves pero muy divertidos. Importante llevar agua ya que te deshidratas mucho. La vuelta por el mercado de dahab no es muy chula ya que te llevan a una perfumería a que compres específicamente, nosotros no compramos nada simplemente dimos una vuelta.
