Moderate

Explore Saint Catherine Monastery, hike the stunning Colored Canyon, and enjoy lunch and shopping in Dahab on a full-day cultural and nature adventure from Sharm El Sheikh.

Embark on a unique full-day adventure combining history, nature, and local culture. Your journey begins with a comfortable drive from Sharm El Sheikh to the legendary Saint Catherine Monastery, located at the foot of Mount Sinai. As one of the oldest active monasteries in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers visitors a profound look into centuries of religious history and sacred artifacts.

Continue your trip to the breathtaking Colored Canyon, a geological masterpiece in the Sinai Peninsula. Walk through its towering 40-meter-high sandstone walls, glowing in shades of red, gold, and brown—naturally sculpted by ancient water erosion. This 800-meter canyon provides an unforgettable hiking experience surrounded by dramatic desert beauty.

Your final stop takes you to the laid-back coastal town of Dahab, famous for its relaxed atmosphere and cultural diversity. Enjoy a delicious lunch in a traditional Bedouin tent, then explore Dahab’s vibrant shopping area. Wander through local markets, discover handmade crafts, and soak in the charm of the seaside community.

This tour blends spiritual heritage, natural wonders, and authentic Bedouin culture—an essential Sinai experience you’ll always remember.
