About this experience
Have you had a chance to explore Wishwashi and the Big Colored Canyon? You might be surprised to learn that there is an incredible route connecting the two. How cool would it be to discover it together and experience it like the original explorers?
We’ll kick off the day bright and early at 6:15am as we head to the stunning Khudra’s Spring for breakfast and some relaxation time. From there, we’ll make our way to Mushroom Rock and the breathtaking Colored Canyon where we’ll embark on our 13km hike to Wishwashi Spring.
But don’t worry, we’ll take some time to soak up the stunning scenery and enjoy Wishwashi Spring before hiking another 2km to meet our vehicle, which will whisk us away to Dy3et Younes.
Here, we’ll have an introduction to learn about horse language and climbing before sitting down to a delicious organic dinner. Then it’s back to Dahab for us.
Can’t wait to experience this journey again with you!
