Dahab

Dahab is a small town on the southeast coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, about 80 km northeast of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Its name means “gold” in Arabic, which may refer to the golden sands or the rich history of the area. Dahab is a popular destination for tourists who love outdoor activities, such as windsurfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, kite surfing, sailing, rock climbing, camel riding, and more.

Dahab has some of the best conditions for windsurfing in the world, thanks to the reliable winds and the flat-water lagoon inside the sand spit. Dahab is also home to the Blue Hole, the world’s most dangerous diving site, where only experienced divers can explore the underwater arch.

Other attractions include Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments, Saint Catherine’s Monastery, the oldest continuously inhabited monastery in the world, and the Colored Canyon, a stunning natural wonder with colorful rock formations.

Dahab is a place where you can experience the beauty and diversity of nature, culture, and adventure.
