Dahab, Dahab, Egypt What sprang up during the 1960’s as a hippie hangout along the Red Sea has grown into a thriving beach community that offers easy access to some of the best diving location in the world.
Dahab, a coastal village in the middle of the eastern shore of Sinai, is now a booming diving community. It offers a range of accommodations from hostels for budget travelers to luxurious full service resorts. All of this is located right on the water, tucked between the purple mountains of Sinai’s interior and the crystal waters of the Gulf of Aqaba with the shadowy mountains of Saudi Arabia visible across the water in the distance.
In the central part of Dahab there is a well-established strip of restaurants and hotels the allow travelers to lounge by the water while enjoying the full restaurant service. Further north the vibe is more relaxed and less developed and a few miles out of town in either direction are resorts offering more exclusive privacy. All of these places organize trips to the many impressive diving and snorkeling locations nearby.

Nous étions hier, en famille au Monastère Sainte Catherine, quel lieu magnifique ! Nous en avons profité pour visiter les canyons puis terminer la journée par un déjeuner en bord de mer .
Nous tenons à remercier notre guide Engy, pour son professionnalisme, son sens de l’écoute et sa gentillesse.
Une belle excursion que je conseille fortement.

My husband and I booked this tour with Memphis Tours two days in advance. We booked a pick up at our hotel for 6:00am which was confirmed by the tour agency via email. We waited until 930 ambut no one showed up. We attempted to contact Memphis Tours with no answer at both a Cairo office or the local phone number. I finally contacted Viator and arranged a refund. The refund was prompt with no issues. I would never book through this company again. I never received a call or an apology from Memphis Tours.

We enjoyed our tour so much with Memphis Tours! We had a blast and learned so much about the history of the monastery and even its surroundings. Our tour guide, Engy, is amazing, kind, and so knowledgeable. She not only told us about St. Katherine’s history, but also about Sharm El Sheikh and Egypt in general (from the pharaohs until now). 100% recommend!!! ????????
