The Red Sea Riviera/Sinai region
Dahab is located In the historical Sinai peninsula, an area of interest culturally / historically as well as having many places of outstanding beauty - these can be visited on desert safaris and treks. The world famous St. Katherine's Monastery and Mt. Sinai are just 1.5 hours away by road.
In the hotter summer months there are many beachside destinations, again reachable as part of a safari programme, suitable for snorkeling. For divers there are various internationally renowned dive sites - the Blue Hole 12km north of Dahab and the national parks of Ras Mohamed and Nabq close to Sharm El Sheikh. For guests who like a quiet and relaxing place to stay, ( in contrast to the hustle bustle of Sharm ), the latter locations can also be visited using Dahab as a base.
Other places of interest include Pharaoh's Island further north and the Spring of Moses on the coastline of the Gulf of Suez.

We're a middle-aged couple and we spent our unforgettable three-week holiday in Dahab which is our favourite holiday destination as it was our third holiday in this beautiful location within a few years. This time we stayed at Tony Villa and it was a perfect choice - villa's location very close to the beach and the shopping centre, comfort, privacy, clean and tastefully furnished rooms, clean bathroom, well equipped kitchen, a terrace relaxing area and a lovely garden area. And, of course, Tony – a friendly and helpful owner of the villa speaking English, Arabic and Slovak, who was always ready to help us or give us as tourists any advice we asked for. We can definitely recommend Tony Villa providing a very cosy accommodation including every amenity we need for a comfortable holiday. While staying in Dahab you have no chance to be bored as it has much to offer- diving, snorkelling at the amazing coral reefs, windsurfing, walking along the beach, or just swimming and lying in the sun and enjoying a beautiful view of the sea and the surrounding hills. If you're lazy to make your own meals (as we usually are), don't worry, there is lots of places to eat and drink in Dahab. We can recommend you a popular Yalla bar and restaurant. Right on the beach, we were offered tasty meals and chilled drinks all day long, starting with delicious breakfast in the morning and finishing late at night with a glass of good Egyptian wine. We were served by friendly and helpful staff that made us feel very welcome. We just fell in love with Tony Villa, where we stayed (special thanks to the villa's owner), the holiday destination and its people. We had a fantastic relaxing holiday there with a memory that lasts lifetime. Hopefully will be repeated again enjoying the comfort of Tony Villa and Dahab attractions. Nat |
Guestbook for SWIPIN
Name: Rob & Jo
From: Bristol, UK
E-mail: rob_boreham@hotmail.com We stayed in the Garden apartment which was incredibly spacious and clean with a shady terrace for drinking wine and unwinding after a hard day diving. The Garden apartment would be great for a family or a group of friends.
The house is a few minutes walk from the beach, restaurants and shops and by being that few minutes away from main strip and resulting hustle and bustle we got to see behind the scenes of Dahab camels, goats and bricks being made by hand.
We found Barbara and Fathy's place to be a delightful sanctuary in the un-cut diamond that is Dahab. As first time visitors, Barbara and Fathy's help and advice was invaluable and made our week unforgettable.
Tip for anyone snorkeling at The Lighthouse – explore the coral garden on the other side of the bay from the main reef as it is not as busy as the reef - we had it to ourselves - but has as many fish and coral and is more sheltered.
We highly recommend staying here and will be going back as soon as we can.
Thanks so much to Barbara and Fathy
My partner and I and our two children (9 and 12 years)came to stay at Swipin during the spring holidays for two weeks. Barbara and Fathy were warm, welcoming and had excellent knowledge about the local area/ excursions.
The whole holiday provided us with a well earned break and it ticked all the boxes for us. We did windsurfing at the lagoon and snorkelling locally and at the blue hole. My daughter (9 years) and I went horse riding with Summer at the Blue Beach Hotel (where the horses are well cared for and fabulous to ride). We did a camel trek to an oasis and then a walk through the white canyon.
Whilst the apartment had a kitchen, eating out was so good and inexpensive we ended up going out most nights. The apartment was large and comfortable and we enjoyed exploring the local area and market for fresh produce.
The children loved the taxi rides (sitting on the floor in the back of a pick up), despite the limited safety aspects!
The holiday was everything we wanted it to be and more. we liked the fact that we were staying in the bedouin area of Dahab and not in a big complex/Hotel. We were sad when it was time to leave and feel it is a place we would love to return to in the future.
Thankyou!
Monty and Milla
We stayed in the Stella apartment for 2 weeks and it was perfect for our great holiday in Dahab. If you're new to Dahab or not, it's always a pleasure to have Barbara's wealth of knowledge and wonderful hospitality at hand. Highly recommended to all. Thanks again Barbara and family!!
