Why visit: Sinai's Coloured Canyon and the eastern desert wadis — narrow sandstone slots banded in red, orange and purple.

Things to do

›Go with a guide — the slot canyons are easy to get lost in
›Come mid-morning when light reaches down into the narrows
›Wear shoes with grip for loose rock and sand
›Carry far more water than the walk seems to need
