Latest Dhahab hotel reviews
Dive the red sea with Sinai Divers
onfoot Says: If you are in Dahab and not diving then you are missing out on a lot of fun and a wonderful experience. There are so many diving sites in Dahab and around it, if you have time make sure to arrange with your dive centre to go to Abu Galloum ... 80 Km away ...It is worth going...
xander_kolb Says: Dahab is one of the top spots for windsurfing and diving. What makes this place particularly nice is the "lagoon" which allows for fairly safe training with excellent wind and little waves - allowing you to learn those tricks easier. Pretty much each hotel at the strip of...
Svetlana_L Says: Intersting experience - a lot of fun - driving through the desert when a wind blows against us and the sharp sand was sticking into the skin, sometime feeling a danger - as sandy roads were between two cliffs. We had a guide who was showing us the road - first stop was at...
leffe3 Says: The town beach may be nothing much, but spectacular (and quiet) beaches are never far away, where snorkelling and bathing are the order of the day and where the mountains sweep down to the shoreline (just need to get past those camels!). And some of the hotels have the best...
leffe3 Says: The cafes and bars of Assalah provide a focal point to Dhabab, and whilst they may a mismash of Bedouin tourist kitch, lining the shoreline as they do with open to the element tent 'environments', they nevertheless provide cheap options for simple food (humus, grills, chips...

Penguin Village Rooftop Restaurant: Fun Food with the Atmosphere to Match
NilePrincess Says: Penguin Village is a well known backpacker's haunt in Dahab. The staff are fun, the rooms are cheap and the location can't be beat. The biggest draw for me, however, is their rooftop restaurant. The restaurant is literally on the beach front. You can walk a few steps from...
Rush Dahab: 7 star delicacies and best parties
rushdahab Says: The food standard and cleanliness is much much higher than expected from a restaurant in a small desert resort. I have tasted food matching in quality the ones i had in Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton hotels. At night, when Rush throws it parties, no other venture in Dahab...
onfoot Says: This is a new operation run by Meena gate tours in Aqaba ... The boat leaves from the Royal Yacht club at 7PM (Wednesdays at 5PM) to Nweibe' and from there you can take a taxi to Dahab (a 50 minutes ride) you'd better organize that taxi service with your hotel in Dahab (cost...
Vabate Says: From Aqaba, Passenger Terminal, take the fast ferry departing at 11:30am to Nuweiba, the ticket is 29JD plus 5JD Departure Tax. A taxi from Aqaba City Centre to the terminal is about 3JD. Visas are processed on board - Sinai is free - however there is a hefty departure tax...
Palma Bedouin Safari: Day Trips with Palma Bedouin Safari
coco-loco Says: Wide offer of day tours, very good prices. It seems to be directed to the Russian tourists mainly. - Mt Moses & St Catherine Monastery - don't expect to be provided torches during a hike to Mt Moses, better bring your own. Also, make sure to read about St Catherine...
Dahab Healthy Corner: Hibiscus tea and spices
coco-loco Says: The shop's owner, Mahmoud, will make a good price for anything you choose. If you are lucky, you might be offered to try cold hibiscus tea or sweet nubian tea while shopping.What's more, the interior design is really nice. hibiscus tea called carcade and nubian tea spicies...
CandS Says: It's not a danger but more of a warning...where ever you go in Egypt make sure you take some toilet paper... ;) I guess around half of the places we went didn't have any toilet paper...some (mostly where you paid to enter) did have toilet paper though. Don't expect too much...
CandS Says: We asked our doctors about vaccinations for our trip to Egypt... We were told that we would need Hep A, Hep B, Typhoid, Polio, Diptheria and Tetanus vaccinations as well as Malaria tablets (mostly because we were also going to some 'jungle' parts of Thailand on our big...
CandS Says: For us it was easier to leave a suitcase in Cairo and only take one bag between us to Dahab. I would recommend you have a day backpack in Dahab also to carry around bottled water, camera, a snack etc. Although you're so close to everything in town that it would probably be...
CandS Says: St Catherines Monestry is located at the base of Mt Sinai... We stopped quickly to go inside and have a look around...unfortunately we couldn't get inside the most interesting part of the monestry because we had shorts on (our guide had said it would be okay)...
CandS Says: Mt Sinai is a couple of hours drive from Dahab but it's well worth checking out. We went there VERY early one morning (ie around 2 am) so that we could climb to the top of Mt Sinai for the sunrise...it was amazing! The hike to the top was hard work but it was well worth it...
MalenaN Says: There are many diving centres in Dahab and I chose Nesima as it had a good reputation and I saw on their website everyone who hadn’t done a dive for six months had to do a check-out dive.A very good thing with Nesima is that they never dive in big groups, five divers are the...
Sambawalk Says: I stayed in Penguin Camp which has a dive club attached. The operators and Dive masters are very friendly. All divers who did not dive for 6 months has to go through a check out dive to ensure the safety. They also care the well-being of divers and disallowed me to go diving...
CandS Says: No doubt if you visit Dahab you will spend some time relaxing at some point. There are so many great cafes and restaurants along the Red Sea that you'll be sure to find a nice place to sit and relax. Everywhere you go you will find cushions on the ground so you can lay back...
CandS Says: If you love photography then Dahab is a great place to visit...everywhere you look you will find photos waiting to be taken. There are some gorgeous landscapes and buildings around, you just have to be there at the right time to make them look their best. :)

Mount Sinai, where Moses received the 10 Commandments. Now a mecca for secular tourist photographers and Bedouin business. I wonder what Moses would say. Grace, Amazing Grace!
