Explore Dahab

Get to know Dahab with Viator

A backpacker-meets-boutique enclave in the Sinai peninsula, Dahab hugs the coast where desert and Red Sea meet. Hippie pants, shisha bars, and laid-back waterfront eateries give this former Bedouin fishing village a zen vibe that’s rare in Egypt. Year-round sunshine makes water sports—whether that's diving the Blue Hole or windsurfing the tranquil lagoon—a must, although sea temperatures can drop to just 70°F (21°C) in February.
