Dahab
A Bedouin fishing village turned laid-back diving haven on the Red Sea's coral edge.
Dahab moves at desert time, where dive boats drift between world-class coral reefs and beachfront cafes serve tea on low cushions until dawn. The town stretches along a crescent bay, its spine a sandy promenade lined with dive shops, juice bars, and restaurants where you eat barefoot with toes in the sand.
Perfect for
- —Scuba divers and snorkelers seeking pristine coral reefs
- —Digital nomads craving affordable seaside simplicity
- —Travelers wanting to disconnect from schedules and clocks
