SINAI 2/3     

                                                                        

                                         White Canyon and Colored Canyon at Nuweiba

From Dahab we drove to Nuweiba. It is about 70 km through the mountains. The road was of 
very good quality, but we  had to stop several times to admire the rocks and the mountains.

We had a two hours walking tour in White and Colored Canyon around Nuweiba. It is a marvelous 
place, do not miss if you are in Nuweiba. We went by 4x4, and hired the car, driver and guide 
in a small restaurant in Nuweiba. The guide was called Ahmed, and he new the area very well. 
It is not possible to do this tour alone, because on Sinai there are still lots of mines 
since the war with Israel.

White Canyon.
The water, wind and sunshine formed caves and holes in the rocks.

This part of the canyon  was 'easy' to walk.

 

 

Some sections of the path was really wide.

Ahmed showed us the beautiful rock formats. 

 

We stopped several times, and Gabor took lots of pictures. 

The walls of the canyon is becoming 

more colorful ......,

...more higher...,  ....more narrow.

 

This is Ahmed's sleeping place, his pillow is made of stone. :) :) :)

Sometimes we had to climb through blocking rocks, or narrow holes.
It was quite difficult... 

The formats reminded us laces. 
The artist is called NATURE.
 
In the end we arrived in a wide valley and had to climb up the last rocky hill.

 

                        BACK

We arrived back to the 4x4 car at sunset. Our driver was waiting for us.

 

One our later  it was completely dark. The picture was made in Nuweiba. 
The silver road through the sea, and the silhouettes of Saudi Arabia was fabulous.
