Colored Canyon & Wadi Wishwashi Full-Day Hike from Dahab

About this activity

There is a route that links the big Colored Canyon to Wadi Wishwashi, and almost nobody walks it. We found it, mapped it and have been walking it for years. It's the longest and most rewarding day we run.

We meet at 6:00 in Dahab and drive by 4x4 to Ain Khudra Oasis for a Bedouin breakfast. From Mushroom Rock we enter the Colored Canyon: narrow walls of red, yellow and purple rock, short scrambles and climbs. About 13 km later we reach Wishwashi Spring, with its pools and palms, and take time to rest. Another 2 km brings us to the car, and we finish the day at a beach camp near Nuweiba with dinner by the sea before driving back to Dahab.

This is a strong day: about 14 hours door to door and 15 km on foot. Small private group with a local Bedouin guide.

Small Colored Canyon & Ain Khudra Oasis Hike from Dahab

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 Mushr…
