Dahab, Egypt » general info

Between Two Worlds

Extreme landscapes have a magical attraction to human beings. The geographical connection between Africa and Asia, the Sinai Peninsula, is characterised by such a landscape. In Dahab, at the foot of golden-brown mountains, where an azure sky is silhouetted against these, you will be enchanted by a windy and adventurous surfing vacation.
A completely different world – and only about four flying hours away!

Along the extremely beautiful beach promenade of Dahab Town, you will be served traditional Egyptian and  Western fare. As Dahab is overall not too touristy, you will experience the traditional Egyptian lifestyle, atmosphere and pace of life. There, you will also have an opportunity to browse the numerous bazaars. Don’t forget bartering is accepted so relax and enjoy looking for a bargain.

If you wish we also recommend a visit the Bedouin village of Ras Abu Galum. You can go to superb deserted beaches and snorkel at the countless reefs around Dahab. Simply let yourself hang loose. You will feel really far away from modern civilization when you spend a night in the traditional Bedouin tent or, if you prefer, right under the stars. These starry skies, the unique wind conditions, the local hospitality and many other attractions are definitely not to be missed.
