Dahab
is one of the most attractive resorts in South Sinai. Characteristic
for Dahab is a shore covered with fine golden sand that might have
given Dahab its name: "Gold". It lies half way between Sharm
el Sheikh in the South and Nuweiba in the north. |

Dahab
consists of two bays. El Qura Bay and Ghazala Bay. In the latter
one the Bedouin villageEl Assalah is located. Within the years the
area has developed into a tourist center with camps, motels, restaurants,
and bazaars. The Muzeina Bedouins moved and gave place to globetrotters
from all over the world to meet in a lively atmosphere exchanging
experiences and travel stories in numerous restaurants and cheap
accommodation. The spirit in El Assalah reminds of the late 60s.
In the southern bay of El Qura is the town center, below on the
golden beaches of the bay, the hotels are situated. Due to the strong
wind, Dahab is an excellent place for water sports and a perfect
location for windsurfing. Dahab is famous for its deceptive deep
dive sites such as the Blue Hole, the Canyon and the Lighthouse.
