Dahab

"Dahab, my favourite coastal escape, is a laid-back paradise along the Red Sea 🌞. Known for its stunning beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and bohemian vibe, this charming town offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for travellers of all kinds. Once a Bedouin fishing village, Dahab has transformed into a popular tourist destination while still retaining its authentic charm 🐠. Its name means "gold" in Arabic, reflecting the golden sands and the stunning beauty of its surroundings. The town’s unique history adds to its allure, making it a fascinating place to explore. Dahab is known for being budget-friendly! You can enjoy a day here for around 300-600 EGP, covering meals, activities, and local transport 💰. Many beaches are free to access, and there are plenty of affordable accommodation options. Most restaurants and shops are open from 8:00 AM to midnight 🕒, so you can enjoy the vibrant nightlife as well! Ticket Prices: - Blue Hole entrance: approximately 100 EGP (foreigners) 🌍, 30 EGP (Egyptians) 🇪🇬 - Camel rides and local tours: prices vary, but expect around 200-500 EGP depending on the experience 🐪. Dahab offers a delightful array of local dishes 🍽️. I recommend trying: - Seafood Meze: A selection of fresh seafood dishes, perfect for sharing with friends 🐟🍤. - Shakshuka: A delicious breakfast option made with eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce 🍳. - Fresh Fruit Juices: A refreshing choice, especially after a day of sun and sea 🌴🍹. Dahab is more than just a beach destination; it’s a vibrant community filled with warmth and friendliness! I love relaxing by the sea, exploring the nearby mountains, and diving into the stunning underwater world 🌊. Whether you’re seeking adventure or simply a place to unwind, Dahab offers a unique experience that will leave you with lasting memories! ✈️✨ "
