formerly a Bedouin fishing village located approximately 80 km (50 mil) nourth east of Sharm el-sheikh . Dahab is considered to be one of the sinai`s most treasured Diving distinations............... Dahab can be divided into three major parts. Masbat, which includes the bedouin village Asalah, is in the north. South of Masbat is Mashraba, which is more touristic and has considerably more hotels.
In the southwest is Medina which includes the Laguna area, famous for its excellent shallow-water windsurfing. The region of Asalah is quite developed and has many camps and hostels. Most people who have visited Dahab in the past were backpackers interested in diving and snorkeling in the Red Sea.
