Dahab

Where we stayed - Seaview Hotel


Dahab is a funky little town nestled on the Gulf of Aqaba coast, it's best known for it's excellent scuba diving/snorkeling and it's chilled out relaxed atmosphere. It has a promenade which runs along the coast and it is lined with restaurants and bars which have really cool lounging areas. Its the perfect place unwind after a long day at the beach with an ice cold beer... We loved it here!


We originally planned to stay at the Penguin Village, but after a quick stroll down the promenade we found a hotel with a swimming pool and much better rooms for cheaper, so of course we moved... The kids befriended a little French girl at the hotel and had loads of fun playing with her.


We took a trip out to the Blue Hole for a bit of snorkeling. It was my first time, so I was pretty bloody nervous... It was beautiful though and it's totally like another world down there. The reef was so colourful and the variety of fish was just amazing, we even found Nemo!


If you ever find yourself in Egypt, be sure to make your way to Dahab.
