Dahab, previously a small sleepy fishing village, is now a charming divers paradise with a few smart hotels popping up alongside some chic sea-side apartments. An easy one-hour taxi drive from Sharm El Sheikh airport this is an ideal destination if you’re looking for somewhere with soul and charm on the Red Sea.The best places to stay in Dahab are chic low-key (and low budget) hotels and apartments that provide great bases for enjoying its various offerings. While for those more interested in some indulgence in the sun then the luxury hotels mostly located just outside Dahab itself are a good option.
Diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, kitesurfing, sunbathing, and safaris/mountain climbing in neighbouring Sinai are amongst the main attractions. There are nearly 20 dive sites in or near Dahab, including world-renowned reefs such as Canyon and Blue Hole just a short jeep ride away and several “house reefs” also offering excellent dives and snorkelling right in the town centre. The best hotels in Dahab usually organise dive excursions to both these destinations.
Dahab lies on the south Sinai peninsula so the famous Mount Sinai and St. Catherine's monastery are not far away. You can also organise a camel or jeep safari into the desert. Evenings will likely be spent in one of the numerous seafood restaurants which line the shore most of which are excellent value.
