Why go
Laid-back Red Sea diving beneath desert mountains.
Dahab is markedly more relaxed and cheaper than Sharm, with the Blue Hole and reef diving straight off the shore. St Catherine's Monastery and Mount Sinai are inland.
Signature experiences
- Blue Hole and Canyon dive sites
- Mount Sinai sunrise climb
- Bedouin desert camp and Coloured Canyon
