Dahab is the Arabic word for "gold", and it is almost certain that this local area on the east coast of Sinai derives it's name from the rich sand that colors its beaches. Dahab provides a contrasting atmosphere to its over developed, package tourist southern neighbour, Sharm El-Sheik. Dahab has a growing following, and the name may soon refer to the wealth that tourism is bringing to the small Bedouin date palm settlement of Assalah. The combination of soft sand, world class diving, gorgeous blue waters, an oasis like strip of palm trees coupled with a relaxing atmosphere keeps people coming back to Dahab. Assalah is the entertainment centre of Dahab, a sprawling conglomeration of palm trees, open air restaurants, bars, markets, hotels and camps that ignite the town with excitement by day and color by night.
Within just a few miles of Dahab are some great adventure spots. Excellent dive sites lie both to the north and south, including Blue Hole, one of Sinai's best. Just south are the wadis of Qnai el-Rayan and Qnai el-Atschan.
