Photo and description

The colorful canyon is located in the Sinai Mountains, 150 kilometers from Sharm el-Sheikh. Its length is 5 kilometers, height - 25-30 meters, width - from 2 to 10 meters.

The gorge was formed millions of years ago as a result of an earthquake. The wind blowing here constantly tried its best and `` decorated '' soft sandy rock with magic patterns.

Numerous tourists, in order to admire the multi-colored rocks (from white to bright red), make a whole march: first they descend into a lifeless gorge, walk several kilometers along a winding canyon, squeeze into narrow manholes.
