TL;DR

A Dahab day trip can be exhausting for a 4-year-old: one report involved a 6:00 am pickup and return to the hotel around 9:00 pm. The Colored Canyon and the 4WD ride there were the standout parts, while snorkeling may be weather-dependent.

What the community said

A Dahab excursion from Sharm El Sheikh may last about 15 hours, with pickup around 6:00 am and a hotel return near 9:00 pm. This is likely to be a demanding schedule for a four-year-old.

6:00 am–9:00 pm

The Colored Canyon and the 4WD drive to it were described as the best parts of the itinerary. These are the strongest reasons to choose the tour.

Colored Canyon

Snorkeling is weather-dependent and may be cancelled or unsuccessful when the sea is rough. Do not book the trip solely for the underwater activity.

snorkeling

Some itineraries include camel riding and quad bikes, but these extras may not be the highlight: the quad-bike ride was reported to be very brief, and travelers chose not to take the camel ride.
