Farsh Umm Sila is a large plateau surrounded by the ocher mountains of the heart of Sinai.

Renowned for its most grandiose silence, you will find here a place predestined for meditation.

Farsh Um Sela is a beautiful rocky plateau that offers stunning views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. Located after Saqar Canyon and before the natural pool of El-Gelat El-Azraq, this spot is a perfect place to rest and take in the landscape.

The terrain here is mostly flat but rocky, with natural boulders ideal for sitting or a short break. It’s a quiet area where hikers can enjoy the peace of the highlands before continuing to the refreshing waters of El-Gelat El-Azraq.

What to know:

Great for a midday rest or picnic

Rocky but easy terrain

Views of nearby canyons and distant peaks

No water sources here — fill up before arriving

Farsh Um Sela is a hidden gem on the trail, offering calm and space to reconnect with the Sinai wilderness.
