Things to Do in Dahab
Starting points for your perfect trip
Blue Hole Freediving & Diving
Descend into the 100-meter submarine sinkhole 8 kilometers north of town where the reef drops vertically into deep blue water. Train with instructors at one of the world’s first freediving centers established in 2003, explore coral walls, or snorkel the shallow saddle teeming with reef fish.
Mount Sinai Sunrise Summit Trek
Hike through the night to reach the 2,285-meter summit where three faiths converge, ascending the camel path or the 3,750 Steps of Repentance carved by monks. Watch dawn illuminate the granite Sinai range, then descend to St. Catherine’s Monastery built 548–565 AD by Emperor Justinian I.
Colored Canyon & Bedouin Desert Safari
Journey 90 kilometers north to the 800-meter labyrinth near Nuweiba, where 40-meter sandstone walls display layers of red, purple, yellow, and orange minerals with fossilized shells from when the region was submerged beneath the Red Sea. Camp with Mizena Bedouin guides under unpolluted skies.
Ras Abu Galum Overnight Expedition
Travel by boat or camel to the 400-square-kilometer reserve where Sinai mountains plunge into the sea. Dive untouched coral gardens, snorkel with turtles, and overnight in Bedouin huts on beaches accessible only by water or foot, covering part of the 52% of Gulf coastline under protection.
Lighthouse & Canyon Shore Dive
Walk from a waterfront cafe to the Lighthouse reef where seahorses hide in seagrass beds at 50 meters depth, then dive the Canyon formed by ancient seismic activity where light effects illuminate a rift in the reef alongside octopus, lionfish, and giant moray eels in 30-meter visibility.
Lagoon Kitesurfing & Wind Sports
Ride the 2.5-kilometer Lagoon where thermal winds blow 280-plus days per year, funneled by mountains on the Egyptian and Saudi sides creating a natural wind tunnel. Flat water and standing-depth shallows suit beginners, while advanced riders find waves up to three meters beyond the reef.
