Dahab Day Tour from Sharm Elsheikh
Description
Discover the charm of Dahab, a laid-back coastal town nestled the Aqaba Gulf of the Red Sea in Sinai Peninsula, on this exciting day tour from Sharm Elsheikh. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the desert, where you'll be introduced to one of the most striking natural wonders in the region: the Colored Canyon. This awe-inspiring geological marvel is a labyrinth of narrow passageways, each twist and turn revealing layers of sandstone in hues of red, yellow, and orange. The colors are the result of centuries of natural processes, and walking through the canyon feels like stepping into another world. Following your exploration of the Colored Canyon, you'll embark on a unique camel ride along the stunning coastline of the Blue Hole. This special ride takes you along the shore of the Aqaba Gulf, where the desert meets the sea. As you saddle up on your camel, you'll be treated to panoramic views of the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea, contrasting beautifully with the arid desert landscape. Next, head to one of the most famous dive sites in the world, the Blue Hole, located just north of Dahab. This world-renowned underwater sinkhole is a diver’s paradise, attracting enthusiasts from around the globe due to its remarkable underwater topography and abundant marine life. The Blue Hole has earned its reputation as the "Cemetry of Divers" due to its challenging depths and the tragic history of divers who have lost their lives in its depths. The Blue Hole's dramatic vertical drop, stretching over 100 meters, can be dangerous for inexperienced divers, leading to its ominous nickname. Despite the dangers, it remains an extraordinary and awe-inspiring spot, offering spectacular coral gardens and an incredible variety of fish and sea creatures. After immersing yourself in the natural wonders of Dahab, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor authentic Egyptian cuisine, freshly prepared with local ingredients. It's the perfect chance to relax and take in the beauty of the surrounding area. Before returning to Sharm Elsheikh, the tour will make a shopping stop in Dahab’s bustling markets. The town’s laid-back atmosphere is reflected in its friendly shops, where you can browse a variety of handmade crafts, jewelry, clothing, and souvenirs, all reflecting the colorful and rich culture of the region.
