Located on the southeastern coast of the Sinai Peninsula in the Gulf of Aqaba, the laidback village of Dahab has developed into a popular beach resort town. This former Bedouin fishing village has earned a reputation as one of the world’s most spectacular scuba diving and snorkelling destinations, with a mesmerising underwater world that draws divers from all over the globe. It is famed for the notorious ‘Blue Hole’, Egypt’s most dangerous dive spot, located a few kilometres from Dahab central. The town itself offers a host of different lodging options and a lively cafe and nightlife culture. Popular activities include: kitesurfing, windsurfing, horse riding, camel safaris, yoga and freediving.
