Why Dahab Is a Special Escape
The appeal of the Dahab Blue Horizon Escape comes from the freedom to enjoy Dahab at your own pace.
You can spend your time relaxing beside the Red Sea, exploring local cafés and coastal areas, or choosing optional outdoor activities.
Dahab’s natural environment makes it particularly attractive to travellers who enjoy:
- Red Sea beaches
- Snorkelling
- Diving
- Coral reefs
- Marine life
- Desert landscapes
- Mountain scenery
- Windsurfing
- Local coastal culture
- Relaxation
Dahab is also known for its easy access to marine environments, with many reef areas close to shore.
Explore Dahab’s Red Sea
The Red Sea is one of the main reasons travellers visit Dahab.
The waters around the destination contain extensive coral reefs and diverse marine life, creating excellent opportunities for snorkelling and diving. Egypt’s official tourism information highlights Dahab as one of the country’s major diving and snorkelling destinations.
Beginners can enjoy suitable guided experiences, while experienced divers can explore more demanding sites according to their qualifications and local conditions.
Snorkelling is also an excellent option for travellers who want to observe the reef without undertaking a full diving experience.
Discover the Blue Hole
The Blue Hole is one of Dahab’s most famous natural attractions.
It is a dramatic marine sinkhole located north of Dahab and is internationally recognised as a diving destination.
The official Egyptian tourism portal notes that the Blue Hole is approximately 70 metres wide and 80 metres deep, with a famous underwater arch. It also notes that the arch requires a high level of diving experience.
For safety, recreational travellers should only participate in diving activities appropriate to their certification and experience and should follow the instructions of qualified local professionals.
The Blue Hole can also be appreciated from the surface and surrounding coastal area without attempting technically demanding diving.
Ras Abu Gallum and Blue Lagoon
Dahab’s natural surroundings extend beyond the main coastline.
Ras Abu Gallum Protectorate lies north of the Blue Hole and offers a striking combination of desert, mountains and Red Sea scenery.
Visitors can reach the area by different means depending on local arrangements, including boat, camel or hiking experiences. The nearby Blue Lagoon is also known for water sports such as kitesurfing and windsurfing.
These natural areas provide an excellent opportunity to experience the quieter side of Sinai.
Dahab Beach and Coastal Life
Not every day needs to be an adventure.
The Dahab Blue Horizon Escape also gives you time to relax.
Enjoy the sunshine, sit beside the sea, explore the local promenade or spend time at a beachfront café.
Dahab’s relaxed atmosphere makes it especially appealing to travellers who want a slower holiday rather than a packed sightseeing schedule.
The combination of mountains, sea and local coastal life creates a distinctive atmosphere that is difficult to find elsewhere in Egypt.
Desert and Mountain Experiences
Dahab is surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of Sinai.
Travellers looking for adventure can choose optional desert or mountain experiences, subject to availability and local conditions.
Possible experiences may include:
- Desert excursions
- Hiking
- Mountain exploration
- Camel experiences
- Stargazing

You can spend your holiday relaxing on the coast and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, while still having the option to add exciting experiences.
This makes Dahab appealing to different types of travellers.
