Dahab
Egypt · Red Sea
Dahab sits on the Sinai Peninsula where desert cliffs meet the electric blue Red Sea, and the diving here is legendary! The Blue Hole draws freedivers and scuba divers from every corner of the world, a cathedral sinkhole that plunges beyond 100 m alongside a coral wall of extraordinary beauty. The Bells and The Canyon offer adrenaline drift descents and sculpted swim-throughs that will stay with you long after you surface. Water temperatures are comfortable year round, and the town itself is one of the most relaxed and welcoming dive bases anywhere.
