DAHAB, EGYPT (2022) | What To Do In Dahab

Dahab, Egypt is located on the southeast coast of the Sinai Peninsula, about 80 km northeast of Sharm el-Sheikh. Situated along a narrow strip of the Red Sea, you can see Saudi Arabia across the Gulf of Aqaba. We really enjoyed the relaxed vibe of Dahab as well as its digital nomad community. Everyone we met had a very open mind and was passionate about protecting the environment in their own unique way. There are so many outdoor adventures to enjoy here and in this video we'll show you what t o do in Dahab:

7. Explore Downtown Dahab
For your first day in Dahab, we recommend taking a stroll downtown to get a lay of the land. Downtown Dahab has a chill, laid-back vibe to it. From small local shops to beautiful seaside restaurants and coffee shops, the atmosphere is relaxed everywhere you turn.

6. Bedouin Dinner
Formerly a Bedouin fishing village, Dahab still maintains its rural way of life and culture. We had the opportunity to attend a Bedouin dinner in a small valley near Dahab with friends and it was a great experience. The Bedouin barbecue included chicken, vegetables, rice, local bread, and tea, which was delicious. You can easily book your Bedouin dinner in town, with different programs to choose from, whether you want to just chill beside the fire or enjoy some Egyptian traditional shows.

5. Dahab Sunset Hike
One of the best activities to do near Dahab is a sunset hike. We found a great route where you can reach the viewpoint within about 45 minutes from the lighthouse area in Dahab. If you walk towards the Blue Hole from Dahab, then turn left at the first valley outside the town buildings, you will find a gorgeous red and brown valley. Here, you can turn right and find a beautiful spot to enjoy the sunset overlooking Dahab.

4. Blue Hole
One of the most famous areas near Dahab is the Blue Hole. This has been nicknamed the “world’s most dangerous diving site” since there have been many deaths here over the years. But it’s also ranked as one of the top diving sites worldwide. The submarine sinkhole goes straight down for over 100 meters and is a natural phenomenon worth visiting. You can choose to either snorkel, dive, or just take in the sights.

3. Mt. Sinai Hike
The Mt. Sinai hike, or also called the Saint Catherine hike, is one of the must-do activities while in Dahab. We started the journey to the base of the hike at 10pm from our accommodation in Dahab and started the hike around 2am so that we could reach the top for sunrise. This trek is famous because it is the same place where Moses received the 10 Commandments from God. Therefore it is one of the most sacred locations in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

2. Abu Galum & Blue Lagoon
One of the best things to do when in Dahab is exploring the nearby Abu Galum and the Blue Lagoon. To get to Abu Galum, you need to take a boat from the Blue Hole. Then, you can snorkel in the colorful reefs of Abu Galum before getting into a car to the famous Blue Lagoon. The turquoise-blue Lagoon is an oasis of tranquility and the perfect place to relax or try kitesurfing.

1. Learn To Scuba Dive
With beautiful coral reefs adjacent to the waterfront, learning to scuba dive is a must-do activity when in Dahab. The instructors are really passionate about what they do and the conditions are perfect here for beginners since the lighthouse bay area is protected from extreme currents and winds. We got our training from Nomad Divers and highly recommend them for their professionalism and ability to get anyone comfortable with scuba diving.
