Activities

The Red Sea coastline is filled with a wide range of water sports that are suitable for any age. If you are a novice, we offer beginners classes in most water activities. You can learn how to dive, water-ski or windsurf - to name a few.

If you are interested in seeing the desert you can choose your mode of transportation: foot, camel, jeep, quad runner or with a Bedouin guide..

Camel Safaris
Ras Abu Gallum or Gabr-El-Bint

If you want to dive some pristine dive sites and have always fancied riding a camel, then these safaris are for you. As there are no roads to these sites, either boat or camel can only reach them.

Have you ever seen a camel wearing SCUBA tanks? Well you will on this trip.

The first leg of the journey will be by jeep to rendezvous with the local Bedouins and their beasts. After loading up the gear, we span off along the coast and over the mountains. After a ride of about one hour, we will arrive at the dive sites. Ras Abu Gallum is to the North of Dahab and Gabr-El-Bint is to the South.

The diving at either site is exceptional with large Gorgonian sea fans, multitudes of fish life and spectacular corals. There is also a reasonable chance of seeing less common marine life such as Turtles, Eagle Rays and on occasions, sharks!

Lunch is cooked and served by the Bedouins between dives and you span back in the afternoon after enjoying a wonderful ‘Dahab' experience.

Other Activities

If you despite all odds prefer to take some time off from the reefs, there are several other activities to do in Dahab.

Riding
Riding can be done either on camels or horses. Best done is of cause in the afternoon, enjoying the breezes at the beach from the horse back. Or maybe riding to see Dahab in evening light from the surrounding hills.

Quad-bike safaris
Those less interested in riding animals can choose a quad-bike safari. These are either parallel to the shoreline, up one of the several valleys or around the township.

Kite and windsurfing
The strong dessert winds which can occur in Dahab make the area not only excellent for diving but also a surfer's Mecca. Windsurfing can be done at several spots and kite surfing at a nearby lagoon, which makes it suitable even for beginners.
