About Dahab

Laid-back town, legendary water

Dahab is a former Bedouin fishing village on the Gulf of Aqaba, with a lagoon, a seafront of cafés and a relaxed pace you'll love. Just north of town lies the Blue Hole, one of the most famous dive sites on earth; inland, the mountains hide white canyons and the palm oasis of Ain Hudra.

Dive the Blue Hole area with our guides, or combine Canyon Salama, the Three Pools and Dahab in one full-day 4x4 safari from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.
