Dahab, EGYPT
In the heart of the Gulf of Aqaba lies the beautiful, sea-side village of Dahab. With Sharm El Sheikh more than 90km south and Aqaba twice that North, Dahab is in the centre of one of the finest diving locations in the world. Unlike its more well known neighbours the culture, atmosphere and coral reefs have not been damaged by an over abundance of tourists and westernised companies.
Dahab leaves nobody in the cold, it is an extremely welcoming and invigorating place that has some how managed to harness deep relaxation and exciting adventure with local cultural, in one of the most beautiful places in the world. This is the so called 'Dahab Spirit' that brings even the hardened globetrotters back for a second visit.
Dahab also remains one of the finest diving locations in the world, with crystal clear waters, exotic fish life and a chilled out atmosphere world renowned. |
 |
|
All Year Season |
Dahab maintains sunny warm conditions all year round. Sea conditions are calm and mild. Unlike its neighbours the village has a cooling draught, meaning that even in the summer months it never gets too hot in Dahab. |
Top Diving Location |
Dahab is without any doubt one of the finest diving locations in the world. The sheer quantity of aquatic life and the underwater geography make it absolutely spectacular to divers. Almost all diving in Dahab is done from the shore, whice immediately gets rid of those strict boating timetables. |
Activities |
Other activities to do in Dahab :
- Windsurfing
- Quad Biking
- Horse Riding
- Swimming
- Snorkeling
- Desert Treks
- Arabic Lessons
- Yoga
- Sunbathing!
|
Social Scene |
Dahab has a huge social scene, (general work hard play hard atmosphere). There are dozens of bars, and nightclubs. Our Resort has one of the most popular venues 'Churchill's Pub' taking over after TOTA closed down. We have the med nights throughout the week, pub quizzes and a big projector screen on the terrace. There is also Rush the outdoor jungle night club, Yalla, Blue Beach and many others!
(don't over do the drinking though or you wont be diving the next day!)
|
Inexpensive |
Dahab is not an expensive place to live. Because the exchange rate is pretty much 10 to 1 you can get a fantastic meal for around £5. We have traditional English food, traditional Egyptian food as well as Indians, Chinese, Mexican, Portuguese, and many other Restaurants. (more than 60 at last count). All within walking distance |
Resort Facilities / Location |
We are the only large resort located in the centre of Dahab. We are right on the central promenade which joins our main courtyard. The resort then expands behind the dive centre away from the sea. This combines the best of both worlds.

run
by
an
Italian
family.
All

just
that...
soup,
half

and
all
for
a
pittance!
Dishes
other
than
chicken
are
also
available. |
Popeye Sandwich |
As
the
name
suggests,
it
is
a
sandwich
shop
which
largely
deals
on
a
take
away
basis.
Baguette
style
sandwiches
come
with
a
variety
of
fillings
which
may
be
another
good
cheap
option
for
a
simple
but
filling
snack
or
meal. |

Mojitos |
A new one offereing a range of cocktails in an upstairs dancebar. |
The Furry Cup |

Tree Bar |
A nightclub for those looking for a bit more action with a lot more people |
Special / BBQ Nights |
Every so often we run an event around the hotel swimming pool. Often a big BBQ or something different like Sushi, combined with traditional bedouin dancers. |
