Dahab
is a small oasis in the Sinai Peninsula. This
beautiful village is 100 km north of Sharm El Sheikh, located directly on the
coastline of the Gulf of Aqaba. Biblical
tourist sites, like the Moses
Mountain and monastery at
St. Katherine’s, are just an hour from Dahab. Taking a wander in the desert to
see the bizarre canyons around Dahab is also a must.
Dahab is a lively little village with lots of small
restaurants and shops, nicely lined up on the seafront between Masbat and
Mashraba. Plan to stay a few days after the IDC and come diving with us to see
some world-renowned sites like The Canyon & The Blue Hole.
Weather and Water
In
the Gulf of Aqaba the water temperature is
ideal the whole year round. Even during the winter, the water is still 20° C.
During summer and autumn it is a lovely 30 °C. A 5mm wet suit is the right
choice for most of the year.
If
you join us in December or February, you should consider bringing a 7mm wet
suit and a hood with you. If you get cold quickly, a hood is always recommended.
Warm water, beautiful desert, friendly people, even a few
Biblical sites thrown in. Get ready for the time of your life in Dahab
