Colored Canyon
It lies between St. Catherine's Monastery and the town of
Nuweiba. It is a natural formation of sandstone and limestone of
various colours worn away over the centuries by rains draining
from the mountain top.
Exquisite patterns have been formed of a
myriad colours forming patterns of all shapes and sizes. Some
resemble woodgrain – others surrealism paintings – but these are
note man made. Different shapes and colours greet you upon every
turn.
It has become a popular safari trek and The strange rock
formations and the rainbow- hued colored canyon walls are
dramatic and the silence within -only adds to the oddity. Great
for walking or rock-climbing
