Jeep Safari Day Trip
Jeep Safari to Canyon Salama and Dahab from Sharm el Sheikh
Red sandstone canyons, natural pools, and the spirit of the Sinai desert in a single day
This Jeep Safari to Canyon Salama takes you deep into the Sinai Peninsula's dramatic desert interior, pairing rugged canyon scenery with a coastal stop at Dahab's famous Three Pools nature reserve. Rated easy, it suits most fitness levels and is ideal for travellers seeking genuine desert landscapes without strenuous trekking.
Departing by comfortable air-conditioned vehicle from your Sharm el Sheikh hotel, the journey transitions from coastal resort to open desert within the first hour. The route winds through the South Sinai Governorate, offering glimpses of barren mountains and arid plains long before you reach the canyon itself.
At Canyon Salama, a one-hour walk guides you through layered sandstone formations, narrow crevices, and a quiet desert oasis. The colours of the rock face shift with the light, and the silence of the canyon floor stands in sharp contrast to the busy resort strip you left behind.
The afternoon portion of the tour moves to the coast at Dahab, where the Three Pools nature reserve provides a chance to swim in clear Red Sea water and enjoy a complimentary lunch in a relaxed setting. A brief stop in Dahab town rounds out the day before the vehicle returns you to your hotel.
