While Dahab embraces its Bedouin roots, with a strong sense of family values and warm hospitality, it has all the modern amenities and comforts a traveler can ask for. It’s low-rise landscape is in sharp contrast to Sharm El-Sheikh’s dizzying heights, but it blends in the best of old and new.

This is epic Egypt at it’s best. Take a camel ride to a Bedouin-style excursion into the desert. Trek up to Mt. Sinai or through the interiors of Egypt. For those who love the water, Dahab is famous for its incredible coral reefs, and abundant aquatic life.

Velvety sand and serene waters make Dahab’s beaches ideal for water-sports aficionados. It’s particularly well suited for windsurfing, with winds exceeding four 4 and beautiful weather for an average of 300 days in a year. Sheltered and calm, the waters are lovely for a dip, while a steady breeze makes it perfect for boats and boards. Pedal-boats, glass-bottomed boats, canoes and catamarans are also an option. While the winter months are most popular for water sports, the summer can also be a great time to get out on the surf. The temperatures go up as high as 40 degrees Celsius, but the humidity remains low. If you’re looking for a quiet time when you have the waves to yourself, the summer may just be the right time for your visit.
