What is a canyon?

Before talking about this masterpiece Firstly we should know more about canyons and how it even existed.

The reason for how it was shaped like this is the gathering of rain and rain in the winter, trees grow from the heart of the mountains in a magnificent spectacle that increases its beauty when water descends from the top of the mountains like a waterfall, creating a lake in the arms of the mountain.

Why was it named Wishwashi?

When you stand on the edge of the lake in the middle of the mountains, your voice will be heard from the winds that come from among the mountains, so it's called the Wachwashi.

Wishwashi History

About 400 years ago, Bedouins in Nweiba lived in a valley at the top of the beauty between the mountains to graze.

The right-hand route of the valley is connected to the mountains, collecting rainwater after the rains and descending over the mountain as the waterfall.

A charming world that takes you away from the world you used to, in that blessed piece inside the South Sinai, there's a natural lake in the middle of the mountains, specifically in the Wad al-Wushwashi.

It takes 20 minutes to 45 minutes to walk through this Canyon.

The water level is high at 5 meters, the ground is sub - sandy, and it has rocks.

The Bedouins are very conservative in the safety and the hygiene of the place.

What to do there?

The valley is also a fantastic safari area surrounded on every side by the Fayroz Mountains and the granite between which these wonderful lakes were formed.

It also has three freshwater eyes. It takes about an hour and a half to reach by climbing and then you can jump to the first eye. Tourists reach the second and third eyes by swimming in the first eye.

Safety

The Bedouins there practice plant therapy in the environment and treat visitors with it, so if they get sunbathes, back pain or any of the other minor diseases, they are treated with the many environmental plants available to treat many diseases.

 

How do I get there?

So you can get to that charming area 15 kilometres from Nwieba, you have to get there with a bus or an 4*4, until you get to the last point where the car can go.

Then you start a hiking trip for a few hours.
