About DAHAB HOLIDAYS

Dahab is a small resort located 95km Northwest of Sharm El Sheikh (1 hour by road), which is famous for its sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and natural surroundings. It attracts many divers to the waters of the Gulf of Aqaba with its treasured diving spots and infamous blue hole, a bottomless vertical tunnel encrusted with coral. For windsurfing enthusiasts, Dahab is a haven due to its ideal wind conditions. Other activities on offer include horse riding,desert safaris and tennis, all of which are available locally.

When To Go

The climate in Egypt is generally hot all year however it receives most of its visitors during the winter. Travel is possible throughout the year though winter and spring are the most popular times to travel.  Cairo and Lower Egypt has cool temperatures however it can sometimes rain lightly but not often, Upper Egypt around Luxor is slightly warmer. The summer can get quite hot and dry with temperatures reaching into 50s; fewer visitors during this season may make it ideal for a less crowded visit in Upper Egypt.

DAHAB

  • El Masbat the walking promenade along the sea side with wide variety of restaurants and shops.
  • Always have smaller denomination notes and coins as usually you will find shops and taxis say they have no change!
  • Exchange rates for Egyptian pounds can be much better in Egypt than here than in UK.
  • Most excursions and trips are charged in hard currency (U$ Dollars, Sterling or Euros).
  • Haggle when buying anything. Offer half the asking price to start. If you are being hassled on the streets by vendors, a polite but firm “la shukran” (“no thank you”) goes a long way!
  • Remember when booking your diving that you need to leave at least 24hrs between last dive and flying. Climbing mount Sinai is also not a good idea soon after finishing a dive.
