Dive into a World of Dahab's Wonders

Dahab has become one of the world’s top diving destinations and provides some of the most incredible underwater attractions. Also famous is the Blue Hole, a natural sinkhole that is centered below the water. Such components attract divers from different parts of the world to make their dives at this site due to its steep dropoff and the fantastic sea life. 

Gorgeous Lighthouse Reef or Eel Garden would amaze you with the amazing variety of colors, devoting excellent shelter for fish, turtles, and sometimes dolphins. Furthermore, Dahab comprises several learning centers for novices, many professional diver schools, and diverse guided scuba tours.

The views from the huge moving dunes to the most elaborate canyons are picturesque and there is virtually an immensity of things to do. Of the many unexplored sites, tourists can visit Wadi Gnai, an uninsured valley used for hiking and rock climbing.

Also, the Colored Canyon in Sinai is used to depict the mineral deposits that give the canyon an orange, red, or yellowish coloring. The desert also holds a religious retreat, which is especially true for the Bedouin evenings. Here you can sit around a fire not only in the desert but under the sky with stars above, drinking Bedouin tea, eating freshly made meals, and listening to folk tales.

We took a ride in the village of Slavia, but I couldn't find an option to review this activity
Because it is temporary so I found this company on the Internet, customer service staff is good, but the only US is not enough is that he can only brush cards online can not pay cash, hope to have the option of paying cash

We had a great afternoon
Leading our guide Ahmed people are good, we because of the previous trip delayed time, let him wait for us a while on the boat, up to the boat to discover the entire boat only us, he also gave us water and drinks, we saw the sunset on the boat to take pictures very carefully, the road Ahmed like we told the surrounding view, some understand some not understand, but this is the charm of travel
Finally arrived at the place where Ahmed was very good to support us in the upper edge, the youth who carried the rope was also reassured to give us, but there was no stubborn edge in the back of the supervision, on the road we would run for a while and walk very self-sufficient, in his body we were afraid and excited, and finally walked into the village of slavery, we went to eat slavery bread with black sugar and adult food, that servant and our soy milk taste super like soy milk, also drank black tea, because Arab coffee is interested so we also tried, the taste is very special. Finally we went to the school in Slavia for a class, really a classroom, we quickly learned some Arabic and Slavic, really too hard, but very happy, if not to rush back and gather, really want to slow down the whole village
