Book Your Trip

A popular town about 80 kilometers north of Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab is a bustling town that projects into the Gulf of Aqaba. The entire coastline is a scuba divers haven, and the coastline is one huge reef structure full of truly magnificent marine life.

Dahab is among the world’s most popular diving sites as it is home to the famous Canyon, Blue Hole, and Eel Garden. The Eel Garden actually got its name due to the huge population of eels that carpet the sea floor.

The Canyon and Blue Hole are also world renowned for their unique reef formations in the sea bed and cracks in the reefs that can be explored. Additionally, the Canyon is actually an extensive underground cave system that only extended range divers can fully explore. The sites are a mix of sloping reef walls, coral garden, pinnacles and scattered coral heads.
