Dahab is an easy going place on the Gulf of Aqaba about 100km north of Sharm el Sheik, Egypt, South Sinai. The Lonely Planet travel guide about Egypt describes it with the words "Dahab is the wannabe Koh Samui of the Middle East". You'll find cheap accommodation as well as resorts with any facility you might want to have during your vacation. There are lots of restaurants right on the waterfront from where you can watch the moon rising over Saudi Arabia while you are having your dinner. During the day you can just hang out on the waterfront, do some excellent snorkelling, horse riding, camel safaris and so on. Local travel agencies offer trips to Mount Sinai, St. Katherine's Monastery and even to Petra in Jordan.

As a diving destination Dahab offers world class diving almost in front of your hotel or resort. We'll have some dive site descriptions coming soon in our diving section.
