    Tourists "chickens to pluck"

    The Colored Canyon very nice and also the Blue Hole (although the Ras Mohamed reef is definitely more beautiful and rich in fish and the beach is very very neglected). The real problem is everything between these two experiences: a tourist trap. We refused to do the experience in dromedary because it was really of a terrible squalor as well as among the thousand things that insistently wanted to sell you, there was also the kefiah without which it seemed "you could not do the experience" neither in dromedary, nor motorcycle in the desert. We know that you are not obliged to buy but the insistence on everything and the lies told to make everything seem necessary and almost mandatory (actually to sell by cheating) were really heavy. The climax, however, was the "Dahab visit": they take you to a low-level shopping mall for more than an hour with the classic "perfume demonstration". You can't go around the city alone and if you're not interested you're forced to waste your time waiting for others. Of course the stop at the mall is not specified in the tour program. The trip to the Canyon (the most beautiful part) relegated to the end and hasty. We've stayed in the same way of deception we saw 30 years ago. Nothing has changed. That's too bad.

    To do absolutely

    Excursion to do absolutely, excellent organization, from snorkeling, completely different from that in Sharm for the rough sea and less warm and therefore with wetsuits, to the jeep in the desert, to the canyon at sunset with incredible colors. A special note of appreciation for the NS guide. Man really helpful and prepared

    Planned, interesting, active trip

    Great trip! Everything was OK, with no annoying places during the journey. It was a discovery trip, where we visited a reef and a canyon near Dahab—not the Colored Canyon (it is temporarily closed). However, it had perfect panoramic views. Omar was a great guide; we didn’t have to wait anywhere. The whole trip was well-planned, and we had time for ourselves—restrooms, shopping, and photos. He speaks perfect Italian and English, so we were very satisfied. One of the best trips in Egypt, in my opinion!

    Sharm El-Sheikh: Colored Canyon and Blue Hole Day Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.

    How much does Sharm El-Sheikh: Colored Canyon and Blue Hole Day Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Colored Canyon and Blue Hole Day Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Colored Canyon and Blue Hole Day Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Colored Canyon and Blue Hole Day Trip?

    +

    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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Colored Canyon and Blue Hole Day Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sharm El-Sheikh: Colored Canyon and Blue Hole Day Trip?

    +

    Around 1 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sharm El-Sheikh: Colored Canyon and Blue Hole Day Trip 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.

    What is included in Sharm El-Sheikh: Colored Canyon and Blue Hole Day Trip?
