Once a small Bedouin fishing village, today Dahab is a world-renowned tourist destination. Thanks to its reliable winds and superb flat-water conditions, the town attracts water sport enthusiasts throughout the year. Keen windsurfers head to Speedy, an area blessed by strong and uninterrupted winds, while most snorkellers explore the reef just adjacient to the waterfront. The nearby Blue Hole and Canyon are internationally famous dive spots. There is also a range of adventurous local activities to choose from, including camel, horse, jeep and quad-bike safaris. For a bit of sightseeing combined with amazing sunsets, take a day trip to Saint Catherine's Monastery, located just a couple of hours' drive away.
