Dahab Holidays


Dahab Vacations

Escape the tourist areas and choose Dahab Holidays as a way to enjoy the excellent diving in the Red Sea and the natural wonders of the Sinai Peninsula.


Dahab, Egypt


There are many regions of the world that offer similar enjoyments and pleasures as their nearest neighboring towns or cities. For example, when one says the “French Riviera” there are instantly images of small villages, opulent casinos and interesting scenery all perched on the high cliffs overlooking the waters below.

Unfortunately, an area of Egypt has also earned the “Riviera” title, but the “Red Sea Riviera” is not a continuous chain of similar villages, shops, restaurants and hotels. Certainly it has its more luxurious destinations; such as Sharm el-Sheikh, but it also has it’s far less formal or commercial towns as well.

Among the most beloved and well-known of these is Dahab, which lies on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. Those enjoying Dahab holidays will still have access to the excellent accommodations, delicious foods and natural wonders that make the entire region so appealing, but vacations in Dahab will be missing a great deal of the shopping, busy streets and tourist services that appear elsewhere. While these are handy and convenient, they can also prevent some visitors from seeing all that a particular town or region has to offer.


Amazing Natural and Local Sights


Dahab vacations will not generally include guided tours or large boat rides, but will introduce visitors to some amazing natural and local sights. For example, most visitors will visit the Ein Khudra Oasis, which is a Bedouin oasis in the desert outside of the city. Here they can mingle with the tribal people, purchase their crafts and goods, and even take tea or a meal with them.

Of course the scuba diving and snorkeling at Dahab are as wildly popular as the waters in the neighboring towns and cities, and the reefs in the area are considered among some of the finest.

Most Dahab holidays also include a walking tour of the Old Port, with ruins of the port and village which date back over one thousand years. Additionally, most visitors to the town enjoy a stroll along the Lagoona, which is the ideal spot to learn how to windsurf or simply stretch out on the brilliant white sands. In fact, most Dahab vacations tend to be about doing very little and simply enjoying the lovely scenery and wonderful surroundings.


The Sinai Peninsula


For those who want a little more excitement during Dahab holidays, a short trip to nearby Petra in Jordan will certainly stimulate the imagination and present a sense of wonder, or a day trip to nearby St. Catherine’s Monastery or Mount Sinai will also add a great deal of interest to a trip. St. Catherine’s is one of the oldest operating monasteries in the world, and of course Mount Sinai is believed to be the location where Moses received the Ten Commandments.
