Dahab, South Sinai, Egypt

Dahab is a small town located approximately 80km north of Sharm el Sheikh. Formerly a Bedouin fishing village it is now a popular holiday destination attracting tourists from all over the world.  The Red Sea boasts some of the worlds most stunning coral reefs and the positioning of Dahab Bay and the Lagoona in relation to the normal north-south wind creates the perfect sheltered conditions for snorkelling, scuba diving and novice windsurfers/kitesurfers, whereas offshore the conditions are excellent for the most experienced riders.

Best time to visit:

The temperatures in Dahab make it an ideal winter sun destination, even in January/February average daily temperatures are 22°c (often reaching 30°c at midday) with bright sunshine, making a very pleasant change for European visitors. The heat is dry and humidity is low and in midsummer temperatures can exceed 40°c.  Dahab usually has some wind, in the summer this comes as a welcome respite from the heat of the sun.
