Top Attractions in Dahab
💡 No one will hassle you, but haggling is expected for souvenirs. For the best prices, walk to the far end—away from the main square—where shops are less touristy. Cash only.
💡 If you want a sunbed, bring your own towel—there are no rentals here. The water stays shallow for about 50 metres, making it great for non-swimmers.
💡 Snorkel here between 9am and 11am when the light is best. Move slowly and you'll see dozens of eels swaying in the current. No tour needed—just walk in from the sand near the Bedouin tents.
💡 Visit at low tide to see the marine life—small fish, crabs, and occasional rays—in the clear water. Don't attempt to walk on the coral itself; stick to the sandy path.
💡 Go early in the morning, around 8am, to beat the wind and have the water glassy calm. Bring water shoes—there are some sharp bits of coral near the shore.
