Description Dahab, Egypt

Dahab - a small resort town of Egypt, which is known for its unique natural conditions for diving and windsurfing. Over the past 30 years, from ordinary Bedouin village of Dahab has become one of the most popular dive sites in Sinai. In the Arabic language "Dahab" translates as "golden".

Dahab is located on the east of the Sinai Peninsula, on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea, 100 km north of Sharm el-Sheikh.

In Dahab is Old Town, so-called Masbate, a Bedouin village of Assa and Laguna Dahab, where there are expensive hotels and station teaching windsurfing.

Old Town consists of a quay, along which close to each other are inexpensive camp, small hotels, restaurants, shops and cafes, as well as several narrow streets. In the bay of the city you can find the ruins of the ancient port, owned Nabataeans.

Laguna and the Old Town are very different from each other. Laguna is more like Hurghada, while the Old Town quite unlike other Egyptian resorts. Some of the "provincial" town is compensated by the charm and beauty of this place.

On the left side of the bay of the Old Town, the Cape Lighthouse is located Russian Club in Dahab - the oldest in Dahab diving center with Russian management and staff. Here you can get detailed information about Dahab, go scuba diving training, book a tour, or transfer this many days jeep safari and camel.

Most vacationers in the Old City - divers serfery, and travelers from around the world. Even if you decide to stay in Laguna, we strongly recommend to spend the evening in the Old City. This is where you can experience the unique flavor of this resort, which has long been a transit place for free travelers and hippies.

Dahab is now actively changing. The city is cleaner and neater. Built a stone embankment on which you can now walk from Assal to Lagoon. We construct new hotels, ennobled the old. Filled with evening lights of Dahab like a Christmas tree. However, fans of quiet rest can be quiet - the second Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab is unlikely to ever be.

Comfort, safety and coloring - are the main features of this amazing place. Dahab attracts primarily because it gives a real feeling of relaxation. Here you can relax and at least for the time to fall into a different reality from the matrix of the big city.
