DahabStreetDahab

is a little bedouine-village on the peninsula of sinai at the gulf of Aqaba approx. 90 km north of Sharm-el-Sheikh and it means “gold” in arabic. The tribe of the MezeinahSinaikarte was established here long time ago. The mixture of the traditional bedouins and the young visitors to Dahab Assala makes a completely different atmosphere than it normally is in tourist destinations.

Dahab developed from a hippy village to a dive spot with a well functioning infrastructure. The village originally consisting of four parts almost grew together today. The northernmost part, Assalah, is the former bedouin village.

in the tourist center called Masbat with the Lighthouse, you find restaurants, bazaars, Cafés, Bars at the beach. 0.5 km south of Masbat you can find our hotel. Not far away from the bustle, but nevertheless far enough, in order to find at night the necessary silence. Southernmost is Dahab town center. Here are the city administration, the post office, gas stations and banks.

Diving in DahabDiving

the diving sport was introduced end of the sixties. From the hardcore-destination for loners Dahab was established to a well developed diving destination. Whom Hurghada and Sharm is too overflowed, Nuweiba too spartan, gonna feel good in Dahab. All dives will be done from land and are organized by us with jeeps or Pick-up. Missing anchor- and landingplaces keeps Dahab so far from mass diving tourism from the south. The kilometer-long reef along the coast of Dahab offers you an ideal spot with about 30 diving-sites for divers of all experience stages.
