What to see around Dahab
Dahab is a laid-back seaside town on the Gulf of Aqaba, about 90 km north of Sharm El Sheikh. It is famous among divers worldwide, but you do not need a diving licence to enjoy it: most of the best spots can be seen with a mask and snorkel or on foot.
- The Blue Hole — a deep sinkhole in the reef, more than 100 m deep. Snorkelling along its edge reveals an unbelievable shade of blue.
- The Coloured Canyon of Salama — narrow gorges with walls of multicoloured sandstone, walked on foot.
- Wadi El Weshwash — a canyon with a natural freshwater pool between the rocks near Nuweiba.
- The Dahab promenade — cafés right on the water and a relaxed atmosphere.
How to choose
"Dahab Discovery" combines the town, the Blue Hole and desert activities in one day. The "Blue Hole + Coloured Canyon" programme adds the hike through the canyon. If you like walking, choose the canyon trips; if you came for the sea, the Blue Hole is the must.
