The Red Colored Canyon is one of the mesmerizing natural wonders of Sinai, a geological freak of nature.
A labyrinth of rocks, some about 40 meters. The walls of the canyon, which reach up to sixteen stories, are the most colorful and intriguing rock formations in all of Sinai. The walls are a deep red and we can see more patterns in the rock, which is what gave the canyon its name. Twists and turns are very narrow and absolutely beautiful.
They were created by the erosion of water upon sandstone and limestone. In some places, the deep coloration of rocks gives the canyon walls a prismatic and metallic sheen; in others, the stone is so smooth that it appears soft and billowy. Millions of years ago, the Sinai desert was eventually part of the Red Sea, and nowhere else has the ancient ocean left a more brilliant legacy upon the landscape than at the Colored Canyon.
