South Sinai
Dahab and the Blue Hole
دهب والثقب الأزرق
A relaxed Gulf of Aqaba town and its famous reef sinkhole.
Dahab, on Sinai's Gulf of Aqaba coast, keeps a relaxed, low-rise character. North of town, the Blue Hole is a deep marine sinkhole surrounded by reef, famous among freedivers and snorkellers. The coast nearby, with spots such as the Canyon and the Lighthouse reef, makes Dahab a favourite for shore diving and windsurfing.
