Dahab - fun, colorful, and with a special charm 🏖️

At the beginning of 2023, I traveled to Sinai for the first time and, on the recommendation of my Egyptian friend Walid, chose Dahab as the base for my Sinai explorations.

From the very first moment, I sensed a warm, welcoming, and wonderful atmosphere reminiscent of Mediterranean places. I chose the ‘Mirage Village’ as my accommodation, quietly located at the northern end of the lively beach promenade. I can warmly recommend this hotel with dive center to anyone who expects 2- to 3-star accommodations. This is how I felt and experienced the hotel’s slogan: ‘It’s not a hotel when it feels like home.’

Due to its central location on the Sinai, Dahab is an ideal base for exploring this fascinating desert peninsula. The small town offers everything a self-drive tourist could wish for. You can learn more about this place as an alternative to Sharm El Sheikh here.

For organizing and booking all of the Sinai tours described here (climbing Mount Sinai with a visit to St. Catherine’s Monastery, swiming in Wadi el Wesh Wash, and the White & Red Canyon), I recommend Rehab, whom I met at the Mirage Village and valued as a tour operator. Of course, she also organizes any of the tours above and below water.

Those looking for upscale accommodations are also in good hands with her. If you would like me to put you in touch with Rehab directly, please let me know using the contact form.
