Location of Al weshwash canyon

Al weshwash canyon near Nuweiba is certainly one of these places you wold love to visit . And certainly, it was this mysterious exclusivity that attracted amateur photographer ,VIP excursions sharm el shiek , who is seeking to document the hidden and beautiful spots of Egypt using a super-wide fish-eye lens.

The name of the valy (Al weshwash canyon)

Named after the sound of the wind rushing over the surface of a lake (weshshshshshshsh),  (Al weshwash canyon) is buried deep into the mountains of South Sinai, near the Ras Shitan camp about 15 km from Nuweiba. In the middle of the mountains that surround the valley there is a little lake, formed after centuries of rain collecting in the folds of the mountains.

The Bedouins in the canyon

It is a hidden gem, and the Bedouins would sit and listen to the wind rushing over its surface as it blew through the mountains, no doubt taking the occasional swim too.

But such beauty does not come free of charge, says VIP excursions sharm elshiek after his trip to the remote spot. Getting to the lake, which nestles among the mountains, requires about 90 minutes of hardcore hiking. This is preceded by a bumpy jeep ride from Nuweiba to the valley. There are no direct roads to the valley, meaning the route would be hard to find for anyone but the most experienced. It sounds like a story spun by Scheherazade

lake is divided into three parts. Day trippers hike to the first location, but the two other areas of the lake are only accessible by swimming through the first s hiection.

The lake is rising 150 m above the water, which is pretty deep. The more reckless readers may already be envisioning themselves flying through the air as they dive into the lake. And they would not be disappointed on a trip to Wadi al -Weshwashy, since diving into the lake from up high is relatively safe, says VIP excursions sharm elshiek, and many people do it.

The warm water ..

The water remains warm because the surrounding mountains contain granite, which absorbs the sun’s heat during the day. VIP excursions  sharm  elshiek   says the Bedouins are not sure why the lake doesn’t evaporate, bearing in mind the heat of the Sinai sun. However, it seems the granite simply warms the water, making nature’s very own hot-tub.

Al weshwash is part of a bigger valley called Wadi al-Malha, comprised of two passages. One leads to the lake, and the other leads to a beautiful oasis in the middle of the mountains. with palm trees that thrive on the area’s abundant water.

Visitors can sit under the palm trees and soak up the view while the Bedouins brew a special tea with herbs grown in the mountains. The tea cleanses the liver and detoxes the body, making for a cuppa that’s both tasty and healthy, says VIP excursions sharm elshiek . Those who live in Cairo, and have smog for breakfast, lunch and dinner, may find a little holiday detox hits the spot.

Living the busy, chaotic life of an Egyptian city-dweller, it’s easy to lose touch with the beauty of nature, says Fayez. Unspoilt spots such as Wadi al-Weshwashy help remind us of what we’ve been missing.
