The Colored Canyon is situated at
12 kilometers from the Nuweiba`s North, at 2 hours distance from
Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. The canyon lying in a chain of mountains
from limestone and called El Tih can be explored by 4x4 cars and
the visitors should have a guide with them. As the canyon` s
name says, after the sandstone was mineralized and transformed
the cliffs in a spectacular stone with numerous colors. The
Colored Canyon is a twisting, water-eroded and narrow path that
was created in thousands of years in rocks. The path is
surrounded by incredible cliffs of 60 meters that have slots;
the walls are sculptured and the cliffs have layers of splendid
colors like gold, purple, pink and silver. The path has a width
of about one meter and there are places where the cliffs have a
height of 80 meters. The huge geological formations, the cliff`
s patterns and the shapes are more impressive with every step
made in canyon. The one who reaches the canyon’s top can see the
Bedouins village as well as the oasis. Not to mention that the
view is extraordinary, with the rocks lightened by sun and the
entire landscape. It will make you feel like entering into
another world! One of the Colored Canyon’s attractions is the
trekking; it is funny and also relaxing and you can try it if
you stay at the Red Sea’s resorts or at the resorts and camps in
Nuweiba, Dahab and Taba. The incredibly beautiful colors, the
large open spaces, the scenery that changes all the time
combined with the fresh and clean air will make from anybody` s
trip there an unforgettable experience. That is why the Colored
Canyon is a place that has to be seen! |
