The Colored Valley gets its name from the shades of color that cover its walls, with veins of mineral salts that draw lines on its sandstone and limestone, giving it crimson, orange, silver, gold, purple, red and yellow colors.

The Colored Canyon or the Colored Rift is a maze of blacks dyed yellow, purple, red and gold, reaching a height of 40 to 80 meters in some places. It is one of the natural wonders in the Taba Reserve in Sinai. It starts 90 km north of Dahab, after Nuweiba is the nearest city to it, where it stops 3 km after September. The Colored Canyon is made up of rocks in the form of grains that resemble a dry river, and is about 800 meters long.
