Coloured Canyon

Reviewed By Brun066 - Florence, Italy

We crossed the Coloured Canyon on the second day of our trek along the "Sinai Trail". Even before arriving at the canyon, we saw, far and high in the hills, the remains of some built structures, now in ruins, dating back to when (until about a decade ago; as I understand it) the excursion here also included catering on site. Today, however, no structure is present, the excursions are more epidermic, and the desert has regained its rights. Coming on foot from the north, the canyon is preceded by a wider corridor, where the sandstone walls (however very scenic) are a few meters apart and therefore they allow easy passage. Then the narrowest part begins, which includes widths of less than a meter and sharp uphill gradients, almost blocked by boulders, to be overcome with the help of our Bedouin guides. This part is very reminiscent of the narrowest, most well-known canyons, which are found near Petra (Jordan). We continued climbing on a plateau, characterized by a splendid example of what geologists call "pavé du desert" (desert pavement). This plain of flat stones, so regular as to seem almost human work, has a shiny black color, due to the surfacing of manganese salts; which has earned these formations the name of "desert varnish".

Nawamis

Reviewed By Brun066 - Florence, Italy

"Nawamis" is a name designating, not only in Sinai but also in Yemen and Oman, cylindrical buildings of squared stones, featuring a flat top but inside shaped like a dome, with a single and narrow door-window towards the external. The Sinai nawamis are located in a village (not far from the Dahab-Saint Catherine road) which has taken the same name. However, we arrived and departed from the site on foot, during the fifth day of our journey along the "Sinai Trail". The nawamis are lined up along a low rocky ridge, not far from the village, and are usuaally lonely. But when travelers approach (it was also our case) women and children from the village transmigrate here with their wares, displaying them at their feet and trying to sell them; so the site doesn't look like a collection of tombs, but a set of dwellings of a strange "village of the living". Opinions differ on the genesis and dating of these constructions: as I understand it, we go from a dating to about 4000 b. C. (which would make them the oldest buildings of the Sinai) at a dating of about 1000 b. C., by the Nabateans, the same people who built Petra. However, an already extraordinarily evocative region like the inner Sinai receives further prestige from these venerable buildings.
