DAHAB: THE RED SEA DIVING RESORT THAT'S MAKING A COMEBACK
Dahab used to be one of the most popular Red Sea diving resorts. After a revolution, a military coup and an airliner bombing, it’s making a comeback, says Nick Redmayne
Description
Dahab offers fantastic scuba diving opportunities to suit diving-mad enthusiasts, all the way to dip-in, dip-out divers. Excellent dive sites include the famous Blue Hole, The Bell, The Canyon, Eel Garden, and Lighthouse Reef, all top spots in the Red Sea to see colorful reef fish and blooming corals.
Dahab stands out from other Egyptian coastal towns due to it's laid-back, bohemian vibes. Expect ocean-front lounges, winding palm trees, stylish street lamps, vibrantly-painted plant pots, and bags of chilled-out vibes.
Most of the diving in Dahab is done from the shore, with a jeep transfer provided to take you to the best entry points along the coast for buzzing coral reefs. Diving in this way is perfect for fitting in many dives as possible, or, if you are traveling with non-divers, this set up is very time-efficient for making the most of your time with them too.
For something a little different, some centers offer transfers to shore dives by camel too! Diving here is suitable for beginners, advanced and technical divers alike. Expect clear waters and gentle currents.
