Itinerary
In the early morning, enjoy cozy prompt pickup from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, taking your seat in the air-conditioned vehicle. As we leave the city behind, enjoy the changing scenery as the turquoise waters of the Red Sea give way to the rugged, majestic mountains of the Sinai.
The real adventure kicks off as we transition into a rugged 4x4 Jeep. We head off the paved roads and deep into the heart of the desert wilderness. Feel the adrenaline as your experienced driver navigates the sandy terrain and rocky tracks, providing a front-row seat to the raw beauty of the desert.
Arrive at the entrance of the Colored Canyon. Led by an expert guide, you will begin a moderate hike through the narrow, winding passages. We take frequent stops at the most iconic formations, ensuring you capture the perfect shot of this "Grand Canyon of the Sinai.
Emerging from the canyon, we take a moment to disconnect and immerse ourselves in authentic desert culture. Visit a local Bedouin tent to enjoy their legendary hospitality. Sip on traditional herbal tea and learn about the customs and daily life of the people who have called this desert home for centuries.
We leave the deep desert and head to the charming coastal town of Dahab. Enjoy a delicious local lunch at a seaside restaurant, where the mountains meet the sea. After lunch, we transfer back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.

Very kind and profesional people.
In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of.
Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life.
You will go on a trip and come back as friends.
I highly recommend golavita Tours!
We booked a tour with Golavita, Mr Akram was very quick to respond to our questions and checked in with us daily to see how the tour was going.Waleed, the tour guide, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The bottles of water to keep us hydrated was also a very nice addition.The private transport was top class, modern air conditioned vehicles and friendly and helpful drivers.
We had a good experience Our guide was good and gave us much information He also gave us som time to walk around alone
Driving with car from Hurghada to Luxor is to long The driver was good but drived a little to fast we talked to him and it was the much better
Our guide was good in english
We spent three days and four nights on a Dahabiya cruise with our guide Abdullah — it was an amazing experience, both fascinating and relaxing. The whole crew went above and beyond to make us comfortable, the boat was beautiful, and Abdullah’s tours were clear, engaging, and often funny. We had a wonderful time and now recommend this cruise to all our friends!
Great service. We had a wonderful time.
Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car.
Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days.
Would highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our Dahabiya trip from Luxor to Asswan, everything was well organized, great boat and crew, amazing food, and a perfect and pleasant tour guide Sayed
We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada.
Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert!
The overnight stays were all planned in great detail.
It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days!
A huge thank you to Akram!
We had the best guide ever, Ashraf! He is super skilled with a big heart. We became friends. I could definitely recommend Ashraf and the guided travels he does!
We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time!I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
