Amazing Day Exploring the Best of Dahab
We had a great day with Sun&Sand in Dahab. Blue Hole snorkeling, mountain tricycles, camel ride, dinner, Dahab market and the canyon.. we loved the whole experience. Special thanks to our guide Ahmed Sultan. Very knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip more fun with interesting facts and catchy questions along the way. My wife and I really enjoyed the day.

Response from the operator: Dear Shannen, You have posted this review on the wrong company profile. You are confusing Sun 'N Fun Egypt with another operator, "Fun & Sun Travel." As your information regarding our pricing is incorrect: Our Dahab, Blue Hole & Towailat Mountain tour costs $38, as clearly listed on our website, not $40. The $10 national park fee is already fully included in our price. Our guests are never asked to pay extra for this at the site. Because you did not book this trip with us and your complaints do not apply to our business, please remove this review from our page immediately. Management, Sun 'N Fun Egypt

Dahab Blue Hole and Colored Canyon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Dahab Blue Hole and Colored Canyon cost?
+
Prices start at $43 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dahab Blue Hole and Colored Canyon take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Dahab Blue Hole and Colored Canyon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 84 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dahab Blue Hole and Colored Canyon?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dahab Blue Hole and Colored Canyon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dahab Blue Hole and Colored Canyon?
+
Around 29 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dahab Blue Hole and Colored Canyon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Entrance fees to the Blue Hole and Abu Galum Nature Reserve; Hotel pickup & drop off; Camel Ride; Canyon visit; and Dinner. Not included: Snorkeling equipment; Beverages; and Toilet and Shower use at Blue Hole. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is Dahab Blue Hole and Colored Canyon offered in?
+
