Jeep Safari Canyon Salama and Snorkeling in Dahab City From Sharm

Discover dramatic rock formations, a hidden oasis, and coastal waters along Sinai's most scenic desert route.


This full-day excursion brings together the raw geological drama of Canyon Salama Dahab Jeep Safari with a refreshing snorkeling stop and a visit to the relaxed coastal town of Dahab, all within a single day trip from Sharm El Sheikh.

The route follows Sinai's desert interior, where layered sandstone cliffs rise into sculpted canyon walls worn smooth by centuries of wind and water. Walking through the canyon takes roughly one hour and requires no technical skill, making it well suited to travelers seeking natural scenery without demanding terrain.

After the canyon, the itinerary moves to the Three Pools nature reserve on the Gulf of Aqaba coast, where guests can swim in clear, sheltered water and enjoy a complimentary lunch in view of the sea. A final stop in Dahab allows time to browse local shops and experience the town's unhurried atmosphere before the return journey to Sharm El Sheikh.

Tour Highlights

Walk through the sculpted sandstone passages of Canyon Salama and observe the full spectrum of desert rock coloration.

Travel across the Sinai desert by 4x4 Jeep, covering terrain that standard vehicles cannot access.

Swim and snorkel at the Three Pools nature reserve, a sheltered coastal site with clear Gulf of Aqaba water.

Enjoy a complimentary lunch at the Three Pools reserve, included in the tour price.

Explore the desert interior, passing open plains, barren mountain ridges, and a natural oasis along the canyon trail.

Spend free time in the town of Dahab, where local shops and a relaxed coastal setting offer a contrast to resort life.
