This pearl of the gulf
actually consists of two villages, the Bedouin
village of Assalah is the southern half, with
the business and administrative center of Dahab
to the north. Dahab means 'Gold' in Arabic. In
Sinai it means golden sands, turquoise sea and
off-beat cafe life.
It is a focus of tourism
development, with swaying palms, fine sand and
wonderful snorkeling opportunities. Dahab has
excellent hotel accommodations, but also affords
less expensive housing in the village, or
camping. About five miles from town is the Blue
Hole, one of the famous dive sites in the area.
