Beach huts and camps in Dahab

Dahab is Sinai's diving town, a bit under two hours from the crossing. A long seafront promenade lined with restaurants, cafés and a market, and a colourful international crowd that comes for the water and stays for the atmosphere.

The reefs start right off the promenade, and sites like the Blue Hole and the Lighthouse are among the best known in the Red Sea. Down at the Laguna, steady wind and shallow water make a playground for windsurfers and kiters. It's the most town-like stop on this coast — in a good way.
