Dhahab Travel Guide

GO THERE! so chill and gorgeous. you also have access to amazing outdoor activities like diving, snorkeling, hiking in canyons and up mt sinai and atv-ing! the people are very kind, and there is nothing like chillin in a beahcside restauraunt with some sheesha til the wee hours!

Blue hole is still an insider among divers!

Great diving destination and not as touristy as others. Lovely people and lots of seafood! Very chilled. Not such a party atmosphere during Ramadam though.

unbedingt im blue hole tauchen gehen. an alle weibchen: bitte nicht zu freizügig in dahab rumlaufen. (eine bekannte wurde mit steinen beworfen)

Stay away from the sea food in the restaraunts. Drink plenty of bottled water and use bottled water to brush your teeth. Stear clear of fuit and salads as they may have been washed with the tap water which contains some pretty nasty bugs. I stayed there for 9 days and was one of the few who didn't get sick. Forgetting about having to be careful about what you put in you, this is my favorite place to scuba and relax, I love Dhahab. The best thing to do, is go for a Bedowin BBQ in the dessert surrounded by the mountains, its amazing.

Awesome diving is to be had here, the most amazing colours and fish. Also be careful of eating any local fish - as tempting as it is, they pump raw sewerage out into the ocean and you can end up getting really sick. If you do get sick head to the pharmacy, as the Doctor owns and runs the phartmacy, so they can sell you antibiotics over the counter - they are really really cheap!

nice diving spot. quite, room to dive, good views

- Kite Surfing - Diving (only shore dives)

Brilliant place to kick back, unless you're a diver. The dive shops are on the beach (such as it is). We walked fifty feet with our gear, floated it out to the edge of the reef (another 150 feet), geared up and dropped off the edge of a 60 foot shear reef wall. All the restaurants are within walking distance and the variety and price ranges suit anyone. Friendly people, good food and great diving (you have to dive the eel garden. Accommodations are iffy in some spots. Cheap isn't necessarily better. Search around for deals and you'll do fine. Highly recommended.
