Highlights
Four canyons in one day, on a route we built ourselves after years of walking these mountains. Most tours show you one canyon. We link four. We start in the small Colored Canyon (Salama), then the White Canyon, then the Closed Canyon: the narrowest of them, with no exit and pools after rain. Hamata Canyon is the quiet one, named after a single fig tree that waters itself from the rock. Then Mushroom Rock and Ain Khudra Oasis, where a Bedouin family serves tea in the shade of the palms. You travel by 4x4 from Dahab in a small private group with a local Bedouin guide. Expect about 8 km on foot with short scrambles and tight squeezes: fun, not extreme, but you need to be able to climb a little and duck through narrow rock. Hamata and the Closed Canyon are the tightest squeezes and need good fitness; they are optional, and you can wait in the car instead. Lunch is a Bedouin meal at Ain Khudra Oasis, included in the price.

About Dahab
Dahab is a laid-back Red Sea town on the east coast of the Sinai, set between warm turquoise water and the dry mountains of the peninsula.
Dahab stretches along the Gulf of Aqaba on the east coast of the Sinai Peninsula, a former Bedouin fishing village with a seafront promenade of cafés and dive shops. The coral reefs drop away close to shore, and the water is warm and clear. The mountains of Sinai rise behind the town, while the mountains of Saudi Arabia are visible across the gulf on a clear day.
