Dahab Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Today has been a bit of a pain. Got woken up by the call to prayer sometime after 6, then I got woken up just after 7 by the guys doing some building work at the hotel. I don't think many Egyptians understand the concept of speaking quietly. Always gesticulating wildly and bordering on shouting. Felt like stepping out of the room and hunting dow...

We took a sleeper train to Cairo, then a bus for 10 hours to Dahab. Dahab is a dive resort area on the Sinai peninisula. We are going to do 3 days of diving. We will get our Advanced Diver certification. We did our first dive this afternoon. We refreshed our skills and went to a dive off shore called the lighthouse. We saw some small tropical fi...

Dahab is sometimes referred to as the Ko Samui of the Middle East. Well, not having been to Thaialnd, we cvan't attest that it is "I can't believe it's not Thailand", but it probably is "I can't believe it's still Egypt"! We are enjoying ourselves in Dahab right now, which makes us miss John and Stephy, which we left behind not long ago even mor...

One two hour drive into the desert from Dahab in the dark of night by a crazy driver who, judging by his bloodshot eyes and lack of hand-mind coordination had been indulging in some of the local homegrown, and we arrived at the foot of Mount Sinai. Despite the fact it was nearly 2 in the morning there were probably about 300 people- mainly Russi...

I uploaded a few random pictures for my previous 2 days in Dahab, so check that out. And thank you so, so much for your comments and words of encouragement! It means a lot! I am indeed having a blast in Dahab. Today was completely devoted to SCUBA diving and completing my Advanced Open Water certificate. 3 dives on the plate: deep dive at The Ca...

I just got back last night at midnight from my trip to the Sinai. We took a bus from Cairo to Sharm al-Sheikh, then to Dahab and Asilah. Dahab is a town in the Sinai peninsula, and we stayed in a small resort on the beach. The resort costed 60 LE per night, which is about 10 USD. It was such an amazing place. On the beach of the resort, we were ...

Dahab, Sinai: I'm actually writing this from Aswan as I haven't had a great desire to go to an internet cafe while in Dahab! Mikey and I were spoilt for our first destination- Dahab is an easy-going laid-back village on the coast of Aqaba in Sinai. The place used to be a wee Bedouin village but has now been taken over a little, say, by Egyptians...

Diving is the talk of the town in Dahab so it wasn't long before I was looking to get aerated in the deep blue again. At 18 Euro a pop the dives here are pretty good value too - far better than down the road in Sharm where you'll spend around 30 Euro and then still have to hire equipment on top of that (another E25 for two dives). Yikes! I signe...

Yesterday morning we took the fast ferry from Aqaba to Nuweiba, it was easy enough to buy our tickets at the port, we were stamped out of Jordan, paid our departure tax and bused across to the ferry. It was such a smooth journey it was unreal, and in no time we were docking at Nuweiba - Egypt. Although it was only an hour across the Gulf of Aqab...
