Perhaps Egypt's most laid-back town, Dahab is an outdoor adventurer's paradise: no matter what a traveler's mood, Dahab can satisfy all cravings.
Adrenaline-seeking guests will find Dahab's rock climbing options to be one of the region's most challenging terrains. Located on the outskirts of the surrounding Sinai desert, climbers will face temperatures in the 100s as they scale challenging sandstone boulders. Travelers wanting to cool off can dive into the neighboring Red Sea's coral reefs for a day of water-bound exploration. Dahab is known for its crystal-clear waters, so those who find themselves enjoying the underwater sites will likely have a difficult time leaving the reefs.
More relaxed activities also abound in Dahab. The city's lengthy beachside boardwalk provides the perfect location for a breezy afternoon stroll or leisurely bike ride, while the Sinai provides the quintessential location for any day-long desert tour on camelback.
No matter what a traveler chooses to do in Dahab, all will find the city's eateries to provide top-notch cuisine. An Egyptian classic is a plate of kosheri. Made with lentils, rice, macaroni and chickpeas all in a tomato-based hot sauce, the entree has become a favorite of many travelers.
Free love in Dahab
