In a nutshell
Lazy,slow, but a must if You are in Sinai
Octopus Divers, Red Sea Diving at its best.
Anitelu Says: Recently on traveling to Dahab, Egypt, a group of buddies and I heard that the Red Sea is one of the most fantastic dive locations in the world, so we decided to do our PADI Open Water certification. The biggest problem with Dahab is the huge range of dive centres, with...
rolo777 Says: In Dahab there are a lot of things to do, like diving, surfing, safaris, and much more.You need about 2-3 weeks if you want to complete all the offerings ...But what you should really do, even with a small budget: * Go snorkelling at Blue Hole and Bells. * Eat crabs and...
kentishgirl Says: As you have probably guessed by now, Dahab is a place for total relaxation but with enough facilities to keep you entertained!We used to love the scrummy western brekkies that the cafes served up!
kentishgirl Says: Cats are a sacred animal in Egypt. Luckily for me I love cats, but I can imagine that if you dont the Dahab cats could be something of a nightmare to deal with!In Cafes and Restaurants they are everywhere - and they arent shy either! Many a day I would get one on my lap...
kentishgirl Says: And if you wanted to stroll along the waterfront and watch the sunset you could look out to the horizon and see a whole other world on the otherside of the Red Sea....Saudi Arabia sits proudly over there.When I was eating my lunch and enjoying a drink I often looked out and...
kentishgirl Says: Dahab Sunset is beautiful.We usually sat on the cushions in a cafe along the waterfront and watched the sky turn pink over the Red Sea.Most people tended to enjoy a drink and watch the sunset, once the sun had gone down it was still hot but nicer than the days heat....time...

HaraldNernes Says: Many of the restaurants in Dahab are quite similar: The food, decoration, atmosphere, seaside location etc. Ali Baba is not particularly different, just way better than the rest. The food taste better, the service is quicker, the cleanliness is impeccable, the extension over...
Nirvana Restaurant: Ahh, excellent food!!
ct-bound Says: Nirvana is aptly named in this case. I truly think this was the best food to be had in Dahab. Of course, I coudn't try everywhere else (there were so many places!), and once we ate at Nirvana, we pretty much didn't eat anywhere else! I recommend taking one of the beach...
Buddha Restaurant & Cafe: Best in Dahab!!!
mick2421 Says: We sat at a candlelit table by the Red Sea and watched the sun go down. The music was so tranquil and the staff were so attentive but relaxed.I had the pepper steak served on a sizzling platter and the pepper sauce was divine. My partner had the grilled shrimp and she says...
Jasmine: Great Pizza - Fab Service
kentishgirl Says: Jasmine is a pension at the far end of Assalah away from Dahab.We visited quite a few times, enjoying their delicious meals, seafood pizza was great here!The food was a little more expensive than other cafes, but the food was fantastic and the service was great here too.The...
kentishgirl Says: We found this fab little place, it was about 3 or 4 places towards Dahab from the Penguin. It had fairy lights and plenty of cats, most of the seating was arranged on cushions and rugs on the floor.They were open late, and never had a problem with us wandering in at midnight...
Dahabs Restaurants and Bars: Restaurants and Bars
kentishgirl Says: There are lots of restaurants and bars along the waterfront here. Its just a case of choosing your favourites!I have a long list in my book back in the UK of good places we visited during our stay, until then this tip will be under construction!Do remember though that this...
Dahab Waterfront: Strolling along the waterfront by night
kentishgirl Says: A walk along the waterfront once the sun had gone down was a nightly thing for us whilst we were here.Walking along, people watching and browsing the enormous range of menus on offer.Its well lit up all the way around the waterfront and there are plenty of people so it never...
Margee Says: Use the local taxis - mostly Chevvy pick ups or beat up jeeps but really really cheap. Haggle for a price before getting in - 5LE per person is a good rate for the drivers but very little regarding exchange rates
graeme83 Says: Buses leave from Nuwebia Bus Station (near the port entrance) to Dahab three times a day. They leave just after the following hours 8am, 10am and 4pm. The cost should be around 11LE. The camp I was staying at was about 10 miles north of Nuwebia, so I flagged the bus down...
miman Says: On April 24, 2006 at about 19:15 local time, 3 bombs exploded in tourist areas in Dahab, killing 18 and wounding 60 people. These explosions follow other bombings elsewhere in the Sinai peninsula, in Sharm el-Sheikh and in Taba in the previous two years. According to the...
Assalah, the local neighborhood
dancing_diva Says: Staying in a hotel and near the beach doesn't allow you to see how the locals really live in town. If you get the chance- have someone that lives there take you around Assalah, or at least walk around there on your own. It was great seeing 2 camels parked outside of houses...
Dahab: First time Discover Red Sea Scuba Diving
MikeySoft Says: Photographs coming soon.Dahab's Penguin Hotel has a diving center associated with it. It has all types of diving but but the Discover Scuba Diving is a great deal for someone that never dived. It is only 35 Egyptians Pounds less 10% if you are staying at the Penguin Hotel....
miman Says: * Dahab is world-renowned for its windsurfing. Reliable winds provide superb flat water conditions inside Dahab's sand spit. Beyond the sand spit, wavy conditions couple with strong winds to provide formidable conditions for keen windsurfers. * The SCUBA diving and...
dancing_diva Says: One of the great things- and (great annoyances) about Dahab is the numerous tourist shops and their owners vying for your attention to get you in their store. Shopping can be a lot of fun if you go in with the right attitude- and I'd like to offer some tips I've picked...
