The room is very basic.Saltwater showers only. Resturant seating area over run with cats(10), kittens(15), fleas, flies and feces. I'd pay a little more and move to a better place, that has fresh water cleans better.We quit eating the included breakfast after two days, too many flies. Wife had series of flea or chiggar bites while sitiing in restaurant area. Soory, but I would never go there again.

Spring Break 2010 on the Red Sea
Spring Break 2010- my first spring break actually doing something fun, adventurous and exciting. After returning from Alexandria on Saturday night and staying up until 2am to pack, I woke up Sunday (Easter Sunday!) ready for an 8-hour bus ride to Dahab.

We caught a bus at around …

The reason we don't know is because we have yet to go to Mt. Sinai (organising a trip there is proving quite the task) and we're …
Sorry, I'm not comng home.
That's it, we've found paradise and I'm NOT leaving (at least that's what I'll tell myself until June 30). We arrived here in Dahab from Cairo about a week ago (not totally sure since time stands still). We're staying at a place called Penguin's which has a hotel, restaurant, and dive shop on the southern tip of town. Did not move from the premises …
Vacation within a vacation
After spending a week in the busy cities of Cairo and Alexandria, Dave and I were very excited to get to Dahab on the Red Sea for 5 days. The part of Dahab were we stayed is a strip of restaurants, hotels and tour companies right on the edge of the sea. Most of the restaurants are bedouin style, the floor covered in rugs and mats, with cushions …
