Visit the Land of Golden Sand, Dahab

Dahab in the Arabic language means Gold and after you have looked at sand’s colour there, it won’t be hard for you to guess the reason for Dahab being the name of the place. Dahab is a spectacular mix of gorgeous blue-water; soft sand and a strip of palm-trees so luxuriant that it attracts a growing number of visitors every year so don’t miss the chance to visit this fascinating part of the Sinai Peninsula and book an affordable cheap flight to Egypt with us.

Among the most developed parts of Dahab are Mashraba and Masbate offering a sprawling-conglomeration of palm-trees, hotels, shops, bars, restaurants and camps all lying along Masbat Bay’s shore. You can find some of the great adventure spots within a few miles of Dahab including some excellent diving sites lying at both in the south and the north like Blue-Hole, which is one of the best in Sinai. You can find wadis of Qnai-el-Rayan & Qnai-el-Atschan, fantastic rock-climbing sites, in the south.

You can easily reach Dahab through the Sharam-el-Sheikh airport as well as by road using the bus service leaving from many places including Cairo, Taba, Eilat and Sharam-el-Sheikh which are all routed to Dahab. You may find hiring a taxi of using the minibus services convenient but wandering around the place on a bicycle is fun too which you can rent locally.

Dahab is actually divided in two major divisions with Bedouin Village of Assalah being the first and the second being Laguna/Dahab city (also commonly known locally as Medina). Assalah is a more suitable for visitors looking for economical accommodation and you can find many dormitories, campsites and simple-lodging facilities like Dahab-Dorms, Bish Bishi, Bedouin Moon Hotel, Dolphin camp and the Blue Beach club. For luxury accommodation, you can find many tourist hot spots in the city and can also head-over to Laguna. Hotels like Iberotel Dahabeya, Swiss Inn Resort and Le Meridien Dahab Resort can be found in the city.

Although Dahab offers you many of its fascinating tourist spots but the most fascinating of them is its beaches. You can sit back and relax while soaking under the sun and enjoying the white-sand and diving in to the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. If you want a little adventure you can opt out for mountain climbing, taking camel rides & desert safaris and joining the group-tours to explore the place. Dahab also has many places where you can party and enjoy your nights like the RUSH-Village Bar, Sphinx-Pool Bar, Elzar Bazar and Funny Mummy.

You visit will be incomplete without good food and Dahab has mainly fresh-fish and seafood to offer. Foods other than that can also be tries at affordable prices at many restaurants excluding those near the beachfront like Ali Baba Restaurant, Maya Meya, Eel Garden Stars Restaurant as well as “The Kitchen”.
