I decided to visit the most interesting Sinai’s canyon on my own… They requested 250 pounds for the day tour by 4WD car… From Nuweiba I went to the chackpoint on Cairo road. The policeman were surprised, but they put me on the truck. After some 8 km you must get off in the middle of nowhere – there is only little police post on the gravel road.
From this place it is 12 km to the canyon by 4WD bumpy road. I was waiting there more then 2 hours – the police do not allow you to walk… In the midday there were no cars going up the canyon. Policeman were very nice to me: they offered me a tea and chobz (local flat bread). I was already desperate when two jeeps turned up into the gravel road. They took me into the canyon!
The view from the rim is nice, but then you are walking down by narrow path, the main attraction are the gaps – tiny corridors in the 60-m high rocks. Be prepared for some exercises! We returned at dusk… Great tour – just for free!
