Dahab Activities

 Dahab is world-renowned for its windsurfing. Reliable winds provide superb flat-water conditions inside Dahab's sand spit. There is also an area behind the spit known to windsurfers as 'Speedy' which has more flat water and strong interrupted winds, making it a perfect area for windsurfing at speed. A very small bay within 'Speedy', known as 'Baby Bay', is used for freestyle windsurfing (doing tricks). To the east, wavy conditions couple with strong winds to provide formidable conditions for keen windsurfers.
Among popular activities are diving, snorkelling and windsurfing. There are more than 40 dive clubs and most diving centres organise safaris to Abu Galum, the Nabq Protectorates and The Blue Hole (which is one of the best sites for experienced divers). Among the best spots for snorkelling are Lighthouse Reef, Eel Garden and the Canyon.
Camel and jeep treks are favoured excursions and are normally led by a Bedouin guide. Easily reachable from Dahab are the breathtaking Colour Canyon, St Katherine’s Monastery and Mount Sinai. Part of the pleasure of such a day out is a genuine Bedouin meal at the Ein Umm Ahmed or Ein Kid oases.
