DAHAB

 

Dahab is located some 85 km (53 miles) north of Sharm el-Sheikh on the Gulf of Aqaba, near the southern tip of Sinai. Once an isolated coastal village, Dahab turned into a hippie hangout in the 1980′s and became something of an “alternative resort”, mixing cheap accommodation with a laid back lifestyle. Activities such as wind surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving and camel safaris, jeep safaris, water sport, trips make it one of the most
popular destinations along the Red Sea.



If it's total rest and relaxation you're after, holidays in Dahab are just the ticket. With its sleepy, relaxed way of life, this little gem attracts visitors from all around the globe. From the stunning mountains, to the superb diving opportunities, it's no wonder people come back to Dahab time and time again.

It's no surprise that Dahab, meaning 'gold' in Arabic, takes its name from the glittering beaches that stretch along the coastline. If it's lazy, sun-drenched holidays you crave, this is the place to be. Originally a Bedouin fishing village, today these shores are world-renowned for its diving and particularly windsurfing, due to reliable winds and flat water conditions.
