Dahab, which was formerly a quiet Bedouin fishing village has turned into a magnet for tourists—Egypt’s most appealing red sea spot boasting its eclectic appeal, clear waters, and superb diving places. It is located at the Sinai Peninsula just an hour north of Sharm El Sheikh and is such a great place for people wanting both action and rest during their vacation amidst nature’s beauty.
The origin of the name of the town, which means “gold” in Arabic, perfectly suits its golden sandy beaches and bright sunsets. The town is famous for its diving and snorkeling, which primarily revolve around sites like the Blue Hole and The Canyon, with their beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish making underwater experiences memorable.
However, apart from the sea Dahab also has land adventures to offer such as camel or jeep safaris through the Sinai Desert, mountain hikes, and quad biking through rugged terrains. The Lagoon area is the place for those looking to the relaxing side of the windsurfing or just lying down by the clear, blue water.
Dahab unpretentiously won the hearts of many with its restfulness. Its beachfront promenade features local cafés, crafty shops, and guesthouses where tourists can enjoy the warmth of the Egyptian and Bedouin hospitality.
Dahab is a place for diving, desert touring, or lying down under the stars of Mount Sinai. It is a place that not only allows you to slow down but also invites you to reconnect with nature.
