Things to do in Dahab, Red Sea and Sinai: The Best Sightseeing Tours

February 22, 2022 Margarita Chappel

This former Bedouin fishing village is now a popular tourist destination—especially for serious windsurfers, who'll find some of the best conditions in the world off Dahab's beaches. Long known as a laid-back, backpacker-friendly town, Dahab is becoming more developed, yet retains a casual vibe. Finally, Dahab is also home to the Blue Hole, the world's most dangerous dive site. Only very experienced technical divers should attempt passage through "The Arch" here; if you're a novice diver, stay close to the surface. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

The monastery was open but not the churches due to covid. We were allowed to enter to see the biblical burning bush. The well were moses met his wife. It was such a beautiful spot. The hike up the mountain took 2 hours. It is not an easy hike and luckily there were a few Bedouin huts open for snacks and drink. The hike is tough as you get close to the top. It is well worth the trip

Our experience was exceptional and Great Our experience with Alacart Travel Egypt was excellent. Mohamed our travel representative was superb both in the trip planning and in helping us through a very stressful period of re-working flights after one of our scheduled flights was cancelled. Would highly recommend given all the minute details that were addressed and everything ran smoothly The convenience of having a guide and driver to pick us up from the airports and deliver us to our hotels was also invaluable. The tour guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made our destinations come alive. We loved having our own private guides—as the conversations and questions were completely. Alacart Travel Egypt I highly recommend them.

Traveling during these uncertain times requires extra planning and preparation to consider new and changing guidelines that differ by country. After doing our research, we decided to take advantage of the "open" entry requirements in both Turkey and Egypt for a quick Autumn trip to quench our pent up travel desires. Istanbul was simple, as we had been many times before, but heading to Cairo to visit the pyramids took more planning. The team at Amwag Tours was very accommodating on every request as we planned our itinerary and prepared for the unexpected. From the time we were welcomed at arrivals to the morning we departed, every need was met and Coronavirus precautions in place. Our tour guide, Mo, did an excellent job at guiding us throughout the journey, providing a history lesson everywhere we visited and being attentive to our needs as we navigated itinerary changes we were making as we went along. At every point our small group of friends felt safe while having our Security detail with us at all times. Our drive, Bilal, was also great with driving us everywhere we decided to visit in a new, spacious van. I definitely recommend the team at Amwag when you're planning on visiting Egypt!

Very efficiently organized and well done tour. Ahmed, our tour group leader, was superb, and did me a couple of big favors which I greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Ahmed. As for the our itself, it's conventional but informative with a lot of information about Sinai and Egyptian history included. The Blue Hole--my purpose in going--is clearly a place for scuba or free divers wanting to test their limits. Coral along the reef north of the Hole, and in the Hole itself, is only average. There are much better places in Egypt (e.g. Hamata Islands) to snorkel. Lunch was decent, and the tour included needed bathroom and water stops. If you'd like a varied tourist experience--camel riding, canyon hiking and snorkeling, then this trip is worthwhile.

i contacted Lady Egypt as i had read good reviews about them and the prices were reasonable. Abeer was the lady that took care of my request and due to coronavirus, we extended our mails over one year + due to Corona. i have no words to appreciate the patience of Abeer as i changed the trip route once and again...thank you Abeer! once there, Islam took care of us in a very effective and professional way. His very best interest was us to feel that it would be the Trip of our life. he even prepared some surprise for one of our friends that had his bday during our stay. thanks Islam! the tour guides were very professional too. both of them were called Mahmoud - the one in Cairo was lovely and the one in the Nile cruise was a great companion. so again - no complains! all in all - a round trip to remember
