Dahab is a small town situated on the southeast coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Formerly a Bedouin fishing village, located approximately 80 km northeast of Sharm El Sheik, Dahab is still considered to be one of the Sinai's most treasured diving destinations. The word Dahab is Arabic for 'gold' and is possibly a reference to the geographic locality; gold washed down from the desert mountains. This may have accumulated on the alluvial flood plain where the town was built.

The arrival of international hotel chains and the establishment of other ancillary facilities has now made this a popular destination with tourists. The nearest international airport is located at Sharm el-Sheikh. The airport is about 1,5 hours from Dahab, by bus.

Dahab is a mecca for freedivers; training and freediving courses. It combines the most inspirational locations with a wealth of knowledge and experience in this demanding and personally challenging sport.

It is no coincidence that the cream of the freediving world gravitate to Dahab to expand their limits and be amongst their peers, whilst diving the warm and diverse waters of the Red Sea

The famous Blue Hole is a diving location in Dahab. The Blue hole is a submarine cave around 90 m deep inside and it can reach 130 on the outside. It contains an opening tunnel of 26 and 53 m deep, known as the Arch, leading to out of the sea. The hole itself and the surrounding area has an abundance of coral and reef fish


Accomodation

Mirage Village is situated on the beach to the north of Dahab midway between the Lighthouse and Eel Garden dive sites. With the Sinai Mountains behind and an uninterrupted view of the mountains of Saudi Arabia across the Gulf of Aqaba, the Mirage Village is an idyllic place

MIRAGE VILLAGE offers 20 comfortable en-suite rooms with air condition and sea view. All rooms are built in the typical Arabic style with a small terrace overlooking the green gardens of the hotel. Guests can enjoy a relaxing atmosphere on the hotel's private beach.
