Dahab, Sinai - General Travel Advice Minimize

Dahab Location:
Dahab is located on the east of the Sinai peninsula in the Red Sea.


Dahab General Overview:

Dahab is famous for its stunning white beaches and well-known dive sites such as Blue Hole.
The name Dahab means gold in English and the inhabitants chose it because of the shimmering gold-coloured sandy coast. The region of Dahab stretches across a wide plateau of rock and sand at the end of Wadi Nasab and emerged from a small oasis where Bedouins once settled. Diving camps were set up in the areas around this inconspicuous little town, and then in the past few years developed into a diving and holiday paradise.
