Itinerary
Start at 08:00 am from Dahab and drive by Jeep to White Canyon. The White Canyon, a splendid example of eroded sandstone, its floor awash with white powdered sand. Its narrow, winding path opens up to plateaus of harsh desert and then narrows again, until the exit at the oasis of Ain Khudra. It’s a beautiful place with date palms and water springs that have been home to Bedouin tribes for over one thousand years. There you will have 1 hour for walking. You will then visit Ain Khudra Oasis, drink Bedouin tea there. Then drive for 40 minutes to see the Mushroom Rock. Stay there for about 20 minutes and then have lunch in a Bedouin Village. After lunch, you will go walking for 1 hour through Salama Canyon. Then drive for 20 minutes to the Inscription Rock. Return to Dahab at 04:00 pm.

Not suitable for people with reduced mobility and/or fear of tightness. You have to climb about 15-20 meters of altitude several times during a 1-hour walk, both up and down. Individual rocks are also in narrow crevices with a height of up to 70 cm, which must be overcome, no matter how (sliding, jumping or by holding on to the smallest crevices). Previously, a jeep (total of 9 tourists) drove us on which we sat longitudinally opposite on flatbeds for 40 minutes through sandy hilly landscapes with ground waves and potholes at a deviating speed. Even more obese people flew back and forth in the vehicle, as there were no stopping places. Muscle soreness is guaranteed 24 hours later. The food in a "Bedouin village" (we have seen 2) is also quite Spartan (warm potato slices and rice), plus you sit on worn pillows and carpet patches along with countless flies. For the price we paid per person (49 €), we would have expected more comfort and better care. With us (total 9 !!!) there were people who booked this trip in the pedestrian zone of Dahab city with various travel agents for about 30 €, and were in the same vehicle !!
Super nice tour. Especially the guide was super And highly recommended You do need to use your muscles
It was fantastic. The driver picked us up on time. Our guide very nice and helpful. Explained a lot and helped us with descent. The rocks great and the whole tour exceeded our expectations. It's a must. Overall very impressive. Have taken many pictures. Thank you for this tour.
Dah don't lose. Dahab is not only snorkeling and diving but it is above all a land of Bedouins who live in the inland mountains. Magical places still with the flavor of discovery.
Had a great day, everything well taken care of. The guide spoke English and knew a lot about the places we visited. Especially the White cannion was beautiful and driving through the sandy desert great. The driver drove well and safely. Lunch was simple but fine. Besides diving the most fun thing we did in Dahab. Recommended!
Dahab Safari Day Tours, don`t waste your money on this one. We had no english guiding, only arabic speaking. As a matter of fact we made it very fast to the oasis were we were left without any information for about TWO hours. After that no visit at the rock of inscription, full time SCAM. Customer service from booking.com SCAM as well as answers only AI based
This hike is intended for young, athletic and healthy people. And don't lie, it can be done by people from 4 to 90 years old. You have to expect that you will be climbing rocks in the sun without safety equipment. This will continue until the first victim either falls or dies of a heart attack.
The guide was touching women inappropriately in the name of “helping them get off the canyon”. He also did not speak English.
Must-do and must-see sights in the Sinai! However, be warned that your guide may not be very attentive or helpful especially during the tricky parts - rappelling down (without a safety harness!) a cliff and climbing up another steep one as well!
Was an amazing experience!! It is definitely physically demanding and needs to be able to get into tight spaces but loved every minute of it. !Advice¡ bring lots of water as you’ll need it!!
