So happy with our guide Mustafa — a huge thank you to the Sharm Tours team for a wonderful day. It was fantastic, a brilliant photographer and a great group. I'll definitely be recommending you to everyone at the hotel!

Emily Brooks

We absolutely loved the trip to Salama Canyon. The guide told us all about the desert, the Bedouins and their way of life in a fascinating and clear way. Excellent organisation — relaxed and never rushed.

What you get

Tour programme

Hotel pick-up

At the agreed time we collect you from your hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.

Canyon walk

A walk on foot lasting around one and a half to two hours through one of the most beautiful canyons on the Sinai Peninsula — the Salama Red Canyon, located near the town of Dahab. The canyon was formed by an earthquake in the sandstone cliffs, and rainwater carved its winding hollows over hundreds of years.

Tea in a Bedouin village

Enjoy fragrant Bedouin tea in the tent of the desert's nomadic people.

Camel ride

A safe ride along the seashore on the king of the sands and dunes — the camel. A wealth of wonderful memories and good feelings from meeting this remarkably hardy animal.

Snorkelling

Snorkelling at the 'Three Pools' or the 'Dive Canyon' — a spot with wild coral reefs. If you prefer, it can be swapped for the Blue Lagoon — entrance ticket +£10 on top of the tour price.

Quad bikes +£10 · optional

A thrilling quad-bike ride along Bedouin desert trails. Optional at booking — perfect for thrill-seekers.
