The Red Sea Riviera/Sinai region

The Sinai is steeped in history and Dahab is a great base from which to explore it. Visit St Katherines monastery which still houses the biblical burning bush and is located at the base of Mount Sinai where moses received the 10 commandments. Climb the mountain and see the sunrise.

There are also crusader castles, tombs and many natural wonders - Oasis' and canyons to explore. Take a camel ride into the mountains and eat a traditional bedouin meal under the stars, round an open fire.

Theres just as much to explore under the water with the beautiful coral reef stretching along the coast and many beachfront cafes to relax in between dips.

The Dahab / El Asalah area

Dahab, an oasis of palms between the sinai mountains and the blue waters of the Red Sea was until quite recently a small bedouin village and a favourite spot for travellers to relax. Still something of a secret It has developed into a unique holiday destination with plenty of bohemian charm retaining its village feel and laid back attitude.

A worldclass destination for both windsurfing and scuba diving, other popular activities include yoga, horse riding, kite surfing , snorkelling, kayaking, sailing and desert safari's to explore the history and beauty of the sinai desert.
Or just come for a relaxing break far removed from the built up resorts and the madding crowd.

Guestbook for Sea Stars Apartment

This is the best offer you ever get in Dahab or anywhere. I've been travelling in Egypt six times, about 85 to 100 days each time. I ve tried several hotels from 3 to 5 stars,a villa and 4 flats. This spot, Sea Stars, is the cleanest,most quiet, generous and suprising apartmenthotel I,ve seen in Europa , Asia and the Orient. It is something about the intimity with only six flats and lot of space in the apartments,the balconies and the evergreen garden. You are coming from the baasar( just a minut away) or from the beach (two minutes away) and might have had enough of noise and sand. Suddenly you are inside the gate to silence, green grass and flowers. Its amazing.
And so is the gardener and the british couple who runs the place. Always helpful with a smile. - Recommended for single people who want to contemplate, for couple to expierience a new"honeymoon" or families with kids! Aug 2009,

We were a group of four who recently stayed at the apartment. We only intended to stay in dahab for one week but it was so nice we stayed a couple of days more.

We were picked up and welcomed by Sian (co-owner with Tim) who was really nice and welcomed us to our lovely apartment. They had very kindly stocked up the fridge and cupboards with some lovely treats and drinks.

The apartment was everything we'd hoped for and more. It was very clean, spacious comfortable and excellent value. (really good air con system too). By far the best bit was the bedouin style roof terrace with hammock and lovely cussions laid out around palm tree logs. We spent most of our time up on this terrace where you could get amazing views of the sea, dahab village, and mountain range. We even enjoyed a evening barbecue up there one night.

We would definelty return there again if given the chance. - J.B. (U.K.) March 2008

We had a wonderful time at Sea Stars (4 adults and 2 children). Tim was a wonderful host, acting as a travel agent whilst we were there - constantly on hand to organise anything we wanted to do. The apartment was exactly as it looked in the photos - spacious, clean and well equipped.

We were there for the windsufing down at the lagoon (about a 5 minute "taxi" ride away), and it couldn't have been better. The taxis were also waiting in the main market square and cost just £1 to get to the lagoon.

If it's Dahab and the diving/snorkelling you're interested in, then Sea Stars is perfect. it is at the north end of Dahab, and there is a lovely walk down the promenade past several lovely restaurants into Dahab centre. The north of the promenade is quieter (about 10 minutes walk from the main Dahab centre), but that suited us perfectly.

I will certainly be recommending it to friends. G.L (U.K ) Feb 2008
