The most amazing thing about the Blue Desert isn't the blue paint on the rocks, it is the wadi itself - against the backdrop of the legendary blue Sinai sky. Massive granite sculptures and golden boulders cover the desert floor along with beautiful pink flowers dotting the plains. The Blue Desert is a great place for climbing, taking pictures or just getting away from it all. | In 1980, Belgian artist Jean Verame came to the Sinai to paint a line of peace. With the permission of Anwar Sadat and a grant of ten tons of paint from the UN, the artist managed to paint four miles of the Sinai. One year later, a stretch between Dahab and St Katherine was blue; hence, the name the Blue Desert. | Located between Dahab and St Katherine, you can easily see this site in one day. However, it is a great place for camping. Make sure to take a guide. | | Find related books here! |
