DAHAB RED SEA

Dahab is considred one of the best places in Red Sea, 80 Km from Sharm El Sheikh, small townon on the southeast coast of the Sinai Peninsula, was like a beduin fishing spot, Dahab is now considered to be one of Egypt's most treasured diving destinations, The word Dahab is Arabic for gold and is possibly a reference to the geographic locality; gold washed down from the desert mountains may have accumulated on the alluvial flood plain where the town was built. The name may also be a reference to the colour of the sands to the south of the town itself. Some locals attribute the name to the colour of the sky just after sunset.
