Dahab Snorkeling and Canyon Salama Safari from Sharm El Sheikh
Colorful sandstone canyons and vivid Red Sea reefs in a single unforgettable day
This full-day excursion combines two of Sinai's most distinctive natural attractions, delivering a Dahab snorkeling and canyon safari experience that moves seamlessly from the desert highlands to the turquoise waters of the Red Sea. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so there is no logistical stress from start to finish.
Dahab has earned a global reputation for its exceptional marine environments, and the snorkeling here puts you directly above dramatic underwater cliffs and reef systems teeming with marine life. Three dedicated snorkeling pools give you time to explore at your own pace rather than rushing through a single site.
The second half of the day takes you inland to Salama Canyon, a geological spectacle of sculpted sandstone, layered rock faces, and a quiet desert oasis. The walk through the canyon is leisurely and rated easy, making it accessible for most fitness levels while still offering genuinely striking scenery.

Snorkel across three distinct pools in Dahab, exploring the vivid coral ecosystems of the northern Red Sea.
Float above the vertiginous underwater cliffs of the famous Dahab Blue Hole, one of the world's most celebrated dive and snorkel sites.

Spend time in the relaxed town of Dahab, browsing local shops and engaging with the coastal community at your own pace.
Enjoy a complimentary lunch with a view overlooking the Blue Hole, plus bottled water throughout the day.
Door-to-door service with hotel pickup and drop-off direct from your Sharm El Sheikh accommodation.
Itinerary
Your guide collects you from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel in the early morning. It is advisable to arrange a breakfast box from your hotel before departure to enjoy during the journey toward Dahab.
On reaching Dahab, you head directly to the snorkeling sites, where three pools offer access to the reef and the iconic underwater cliffs of the Blue Hole area. Bring your swim kit and prepare for clear, calm waters rich with coral and fish.
A complimentary lunch is served with views overlooking the Blue Hole. Afterward, you have free time to explore Dahab's laid-back streets, visit local shops, and interact with residents of this distinctive coastal town.
The group transfers inland to Salama Canyon for an approximately one-hour guided walk through the desert landscape. Sandstone rock formations, a range of natural colors, barren mountain views, and a small oasis are the main points of interest along the route.
After the canyon walk, you are transferred directly back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. The full round trip is covered, and you can expect to arrive back in the early evening.
