Things To Do

Set on the Sinai Peninsula and with a stunning mountain backdrop, the 'golden' beach at Dahab offers a calm tranquil base for a beach holiday in the sun - ideal for peaceful sunbathing or leisurely water sports.

Dahab activity holidays feature plenty of scuba-diving, with trips out to various sites in the area, where divers can explore the stunning coral reefs of the Red Sea. The area tends to be quieter than Sharm El Sheikh, but there's still accessibility to famous sites such as the Deep Blue Hole and The Canyon. Snorkelling is also a great way of discovering the reefs, and an ideal activity for all the family.

The warm clear seas and steady coastal breezes in the bay make conditions ideal for windsurfing and kite surfing, with sailing and glass-bottomed boat trips available along the coastline.

Other activities to enjoy whilst at the resort include golf, swimming, tennis, table tennis, volleyball, billiards and exercise and yoga classes, with horse riding, camel riding and quad biking available.

Soak up the charming Egyptian culture in the old Bedouin quarter, where you can browse little shops for gifts and souvenirs and while away the time in an open-air cafe or restaurant, enjoying traditional fare and local hospitality on a Dahab cultural holiday.

Holidays to Egypt feature trips into the desert, with visitors to Dahab able to join peaceful camel rides at sunrise, or thrilling jeep safaris whilst the sun goes down. Bedouin camp tours are popular, with the chance to experience traditional open-air dinners under the stars, and enjoy music and dancing.  

Day trips from Dahab include Mount Sinai and St. Catherine's Monastery, hiking in the Coloured Canyon and boat trips around Ras Mohammed National Park, with longer excursions to Luxor and Cairo to experience the amazing ancient wonders of Egypt.
