Dahab

Dahab means Gold in Arabic and in Sinai it means golden sands, turquoise sea and off-beat cafe life. This name was given by the Bedouins who wanted to express the beauty of the shimmering sands as they look like gold!

Dahab is located 100 km northwest of Sharm El-Sheikh. It is also considered one of South Sinai's most treasured diving spots. Dahab is famous for its golden beaches and deep exciting diving sites such as the Blue Hole, The Canyon and the Light house.

Dahab is a pearl of the Gulf and consists mainly of two areas, the Bedouin village of Assalah is the southern half and the tourist centre where the major hotels are found in the north.
Dahab not only has excellent hotel accommodations but also affords less expensive housing in a village or camping.

If you want to know what Dahab really is you have to see it, for it’s a treasure that cannot be expressed in words.
