Dahab EGYPT :
Dahab City In Egypt
This pearl of the gulf actually
consists of two villages, the Bedouin village of Assalah is the southern
half, with the business and administrative center of Dahab to the north.
There are

also
clusters of holiday villages that cater to affluent visitors.
Assalah is the most developed part of
Dahab, 2,5 miles up the coat from downtown. Historically, most visitors
to Dahab have been backpackers traveling independently and staying in
the hostels in this area. It is a sprawling conglomeration of palm
trees, shops, campgrounds, hotels, bars and restaurants that lie along
the shore of Ghazala Bay. Assalah has a distictly bohemian feel. Less
laid back, but still relaxed, is the area just south along El-Qura Bay.
Here, upscale luxury holiday villages and dive centers attract a very
different clientele.
Dahab
means 'gold' in Arabic. In Sinai it means golden sands, turquoise sea
and off-beat cafe life. It is a focus of tourism development, with
swaying palms, fine sand and wonderful snorkeling opportunities. Dahab
has excellent hotel accommodations, but also affords less expensive
housing in the village, or camping. About 5 miles from town is the
famous Blue Hole, for diving. Towards the Israeli border is the Island
of Coral, where the Crusaders built a fort. The remains can still be
seen.
Dahab was originally a Bedouin fishing
village that today is world-renowned for its windsurfing, because of the
reliable winds that provide outstanding flat water conditions. However,
there are many reefs immediately adjacent to the waterfront hotels, so
scuba diving and snorkeling are also very popular sports, especially
considering the nearby Blue Hole.
