Dahab, meaning "gold" in Arabic, was originally a Bedouin fishing village. Today, it is a world-renowned windsurfing destination because of the reliable winds that provide outstanding surfing conditions, especially in the Lagoon area. Dahab is also a great starting point for a Sinai desert safari.
Coastal reefs and the flourishing underwater fauna make scuba diving and snorkelling also extremely popular in the area. The Blue Hole, the Canyon and Fish Bowl, the Caves and the Lighthouse Reef are only a few of Dahab's world-famous diving sites. You can find low cost housing, 4 and 5 star accommodations, and camping sites in the desert surrounding Dahab.
Dahab’s Climate makes visiting any time of the year pleasant, temperatures range between 20 and 30°C and the water temperature averages 27°C in summer and 21°C in winter.
