Dahab is a small town located one hour drive north along the coast from Sharm el Sheikh. Originally a Bedouin settlement, the palm-fringed town is famous for its laid-back atmosphere and offers dive sites which are completely different from those in the Sharm area.
A day-trip from Sharm offers an easy way to dive at Dahab’s most famous sites, the Canyon and the Blue Hole. These are both shore dives with very unusual topography. They are also home to fish that are rarely seen around Sharm, like the Red Sea Walkman.
