Dahab is nestled on the shore of the Gulf of Akab amidst a vast desert surrounded by the magical mountains of Sinai – just 90 km from Sharm El Sheik international airport and 150 km from Eilat. The meaning of the name of this picturesque resort means “golden” in Arabic. This is a true heaven for windsurfing and diving enthusiasts as well as for all those who are daring enough to go on an unforgettable safari into the depths of the never changing Sinai Peninsula.

As a geographical name, Dahab refers to several places at the same time. One of them is Masbad – a tiny tourist center with a cozy quay serving the divide between numerous stores and Bedouin shops on the one side and an aggregation of hospitable cafes and restaurants just near the waterline. This place always attracts young people as it definitely beats many others in terms of value for money. There are dozens of small hotels and camping areas ideally suited for those who would eagerly trade comfort for another day filled with tours and active pastimes. The peculiarity of Masbad atmosphere makes it truly unforgettable. Once here, many visitors immediately fall under its centennial charms and keep returning whenever possible to once again slow down the pace and feel the omnipresent harmony of exotic nature.

The Lagoon – one of the best places to learn windsurfing in the whole world - is three kilometers from the tourist center. What makes it so special for numerous fans of this sport is very smooth water, the wind blowing straight along the shore and soft sandy beaches with four comfortable hotels. This place is highly regarded by holiday-makers who value comfort and quality service above everything a resort has to offer. Besides windsurfing one can see the sites of the Sinai Peninsula – take a trip to the Moses’ Mountain, St. Katherine's Monastery, and the Color Canyon easily accessible due to their proximity to Dahab. And of course it is very hard to imagine someone not tempted to at least once dive with a mask and a snorkel into the enchanting waters of the Red Sea coral reefs.
