Tours to Dahab: what to know

Dahab holidays are a compact resort on Egypt's Sinai, reachable from Almaty with a connection in Istanbul or Dubai. The best time is March–May and September–November: the water is warm, visibility is at its maximum. In winter it is windy, in summer up to +38 °C, but cheaper. The drive from Sharm El Sheikh airport takes about an hour and a half.

Visa, flight and the first hours at the resort: what do you need to know?

A trip to Dahab begins long before boarding the plane. Let's break down what to prepare before departure from Almaty and how to get to the destination.

Documents for citizens of Kazakhstan: what to prepare before departure from Almaty

For a trip to Egypt, citizens of Kazakhstan need to check the current requirements on the consulate website before departure from Almaty. Medical insurance for entry to Egypt is mandatory, and the policy must cover diving if dives are planned in Dahab. Vaccinations for a trip to Dahab are not required, but the standard schedule should be updated in advance. Take printouts of your hotel booking and return tickets. Sockets in Egypt are types C and F, voltage 220 V, so an adapter from Kazakhstan may be needed. The time difference with Almaty is 3 hours in winter and 2 hours in summer: Egypt changes its clocks (UTC+2 in winter, UTC+3 in summer), while Kazakhstan stays on UTC+5 all year round. Gather your documents a week before departure so you can go through all the formalities calmly.

Transfer from Sharm El Sheikh airport: how to get to the destination

From Sharm El Sheikh airport to Dahab is about 90–100 km along the highway through the tunnel under the Suez Canal. There are few direct Almaty — Sharm El Sheikh flights in the low season; more often they fly with a connection in Istanbul or Dubai. The drive takes about an hour and a half. A taxi on the spot will cost more, and haggling is only appropriate if you know the route confidently. Book a car in advance so that the first hours at the resort pass without unnecessary fuss.

When to go: weather, water and resort occupancy — what to choose?

Seasonality in Dahab is pronounced. Below is a comparison of periods and tips for divers.

PeriodAir temperatureOccupancyWho it suits
December — February+20…+23 °CHighFans of cool weather
March — May+25…+30 °CMediumDivers and snorkelers
June — August+32…+38 °CLowThose who tolerate heat
September — November+27…+32 °CMediumDivers and families

High and low season: pros and cons of each period

The high season in Dahab falls in October and April, when the weather is mild and the water is warm. In winter, the Egyptian winter brings wind, which makes the sea rough and cancels some dives. In summer the heat reaches +38 °C, but housing prices are noticeably lower and beach occupancy is minimal. In the shoulder season in Dahab, it is advantageous to book hotels and dive packages in advance. The low season will suit those who are ready for wind in exchange for calm conditions. Choose the period for your goals: beach, diving or saving.

The best months for diving and snorkeling

The best time for diving and snorkeling in Dahab is from March to May and from September to November. The water in these months is warm, visibility is at its maximum, and the wind does not hinder going out to sea. In Dahab there are such spots as the Blue Hole and the Canyon, accessible precisely in the calm months. It is better to check equipment on the spot, and plan dives in the morning. Beginners should take trial dives with an instructor. Experienced divers in Egypt value autumn for stable weather. Plan your trip around these windows if diving is the main goal.

What to consider when choosing accommodation and area

The area of residence in Dahab determines the rhythm of the holiday. Let's break down the locations and types of accommodation.

Center, Lagoon and Assalah Cape: how the areas differ

The center of Dahab is a compact area with cafes, markets and dive centers, where everything is within walking distance. The Lagoon will suit families and lovers of calm sea without waves. Assalah Cape is chosen for its quiet, boutique hotels and proximity to the reefs. Prices in the center are lower, but noisier; in Assalah it is more expensive, but secluded. Transport between areas — taxis and minibuses; in the center it is easy to get around on foot. For a first trip to Dahab, it is more convenient to stay in the center. Decide on your priority: infrastructure or peace.

Hotels, guesthouses and "accommodation + dives" packages

Accommodation in Dahab ranges from budget guesthouses to boutique hotels; it is better to book 1–2 months in advance in the high season. Many hotels and dive centers offer "accommodation + dives" packages, which is more profitable than buying separately. Guesthouses will suit those who are saving and do not spend much time in the room. Boutique hotels on Assalah Cape give more comfort and quiet. When choosing, check reviews about internet speed if you work remotely. Compare the price of the package and a separate purchase before booking. This approach saves budget on the Egyptian trip.

Money, communication and medical insurance

Financial and technical details decide a lot on the spot. Below is what to consider in advance.

Cash, ATMs and currency exchange

The national currency of Egypt is the Egyptian pound; cash dollars and euros are exchanged in banks and exchange offices. The rate at the hotel is usually less favorable than in the city. There are ATMs in Dahab, but not all accept Visa and Mastercard cards from Kazakh banks, so it is better to have a reserve of cash. Small notes will come in handy for tips and taxis. Exchange offices in the center work longer than banks. Keep part of the money separate from the main sum. Plan expenses with a reserve for unforeseen spending.

MethodConvenienceRateRisk
Bank in the cityMediumFavorableQueues
Exchange officeHighFavorableFew notes
HotelHighUnfavorableNone

SIM cards, internet and insurance coverage for divers

Local SIM cards Vodafone and Orange are sold at the airport and in the city, a passport is required. Internet in Dahab hotels is usually available, but the speed is low, so for remote work check reviews in advance. Mobile coverage in Egypt covers the coast reliably. Medical insurance must include diving if dives are planned. Check with the insurer about coverage for barotrauma and evacuation. Save the insurance company's number in your phone. This way you will feel calm both in the water and on land.

Local rules and getting around the surroundings

Respect for traditions and convenient transport make the holiday more comfortable. Let's look at both aspects.

Dress code, tips and respect for traditions

The dress code in Dahab is casual, but outside the beach area it is respectful to follow local traditions — covered shoulders and knees. Tips in Egypt are expected everywhere: 10% in restaurants, small notes for porters and drivers. During Ramadan, one should refrain from eating and drinking on the street during the daytime. It is better to photograph locals with permission. Women at the market are sometimes offered inflated prices — haggling is appropriate. Following simple rules in Dahab endears you to the locals. This makes the holiday calmer and more pleasant.

Taxis, buggy rental and trips to remote beaches

Local transport in Dahab is minibuses and taxis, the centre is compact and easy to get around on foot. Renting a quad bike or buggy is a popular way to reach remote beaches and canyons around the city. The rental price is discussed in advance, and fuel is often included in the cost. For long trips, it is better to take a car with a driver. Minibuses run on the main routes, but the schedule is unstable. Check the condition of the equipment before departure. This way you will reach hard-to-reach places without unnecessary hassle.

Visa and entry rules change: check with the primary source — the electronic visa portal of the Arab Republic of Egypt, https://visa2egypt.gov.eg/eVisa/. The information on this page was verified on 10.09.2026.

In short

  • The tables compare seasonality and ways to exchange money at the resort.
  • Two question sections examine documents for Kazakhstanis and the choice of season.
  • Separate blocks are devoted to accommodation areas, insurance and transport.
  • The material covers trip planning from booking to returning home.

Trip to Dahab was exactly what I needed. The place was simple but with a sea view, though the air conditioner hummed like a tractor. But I went snorkeling every day and never regretted it, the water there is magical. Came back a little tired but happy, definitely deserves four stars.

we went to Dahab because my husband got it into his head to do diving, and me, just tagging along, to lie on the beach, and so in our agency we got the manager, who arranged everything fast and to the point, well. The hotel is fine, the reef is right there — that's a blast, I even got into the water although I'm usually scared, but the mask was warm and those corals, I touched one by accident... with my foot. Every day wind with sand, it covered everything — the bag, my hair, even the book, but the sunsets over the sea are worth it, five. Thoughts about the manager — all solid

The sea in Dahab is something else. I went to the reefs every day, the water like warm milk, even in December. True, the mask was a bit tight on me, I had to keep tightening the strap. But the fish, the corals - I'd only seen that on TV before... One time I almost stepped on a sea urchin, good thing the guide was nearby, showed me with his hand where not to step. In the evenings I sat in a cafe on the promenade, drank mint tea and watched the sun fall behind the mountains. Came back tanned, though my nose peeled a bit, but that's trifles. Totally happy with the trip!

went to Dahab because I wanted to dive, and last december a friend went to Bali and sent pics from some dive site, so I got fired up.. not Bali of course, but Egypt is closer and cheaper. At the travel agency in Almaty they offered this option, the manager helped with the dive package and said no visa needed and everything's easy. Flew on a night flight, didn't sleep on the plane, so the first day just layed around the hotel and ate flatbread with hummus. The water in march is cool, +22 or so, in a wetsuit it's fine but without it I wouldn't have lasted long. Went to Blue Hole of course, but there's all that crowd from the boats, feels like you're not a diver but a participant in a parade. But in the lagoon by Lighthouse the reefs are alive and I saw an octopus, it was hiding between the rocks and I almost poked it with my finger by accident. Fish are mostly small, nothing big in five dives honestly. Took a modest hotel — the AC is noisy, but the staff don't bother you and breakfast is always the same, eggs and cucumbers anyway, probably a four is fair

the tour turned out great, five out of five. Dahab greeted me with heat and wind that didn't let up day or night. stayed in a simple hotel, but the view from the roof made up for everything. The manager told me a place where diving is more interesting and cheap, separate thanks for that. ate at a local cafe nearby, for 3 dollars I went like it was a holiday. the trip turned out calm, I'm packing up my rods

Went to finish my dive certification because in Dahab it's cheaper and the sea is decent. The first days were a total mess with the schedule, we dove either in the morning or at noon, but the instructor turned out to be patient and showed everything calmly. In the end I came back with a card and a tan, though the hotel could have been cleaner, but for that money it's fine.

we took a safari course with my wife to dive, cause lying on the beach was already unbearable. The manager sorted everything out in one evening, didn't even listen to my old mask and gave me a normal one on the spot, though the fins were pinching the first days like I don't know what, but the reefs of course are something else, huge fish, a moray eel watched me right from its hole. all would be fine but the bus to the hotel took forever, the AC barely blew

went to Dahab because I wanted to dive, and just then a friend told me that at the travel agency you can get a package for a week with flight and hotel. everything went fine, the transfer wasn't delayed, the guide at the airport turned out to be a normal guy, explained what and where (though at the reception I then waited two hours for check-in.) but the sea, the reef right by the shore, I bought a new mask at the market for pennies and didn't regret it

Took a tour to Dahab spontaneously, just needed a change of scenery after a pile-up at work. The agency turned out to be decent, laid everything out clearly, no unnecessary fuss. Flew in, checked into the hotel, stepped out onto the balcony, and there's wind, sea and complete calm. First days just slept in and walked along the shore, touched the warm sand with my hands, watched the surfers. Then took a board for rent myself, the instructor was alright, no extra chatter, quickly got me on the wave. In the evenings hung out in local cafes where they cook fresh fish on the grill. Came home with a light tiredness and a strange feeling that now everything will be different.

flew to Dahab to celebrate my vacation - i picked the tour on my friend's advice, she dives there every year, and i'd just gotten a bonus at work so i figured i also want to see this their reef. Overall i liked it, the water is clear, at the hotel the food was ok, though with the rooms it turned out a bit weird - they gave us not the building we booked, but we decided not to make a fuss and just walked a bit further to breakfast... but in the evening you could sit on the roof and watch how the wind chases sand down the street

my laptop broke and without it i'm like a fish out of water, so i decided not to wait for the repair guy and just dash to Dahab — a friend of mine vacationed there a year ago and talked my ear off about this little town. anyway, had a five-star vacation: the sea is clean, the hotel staff don't pester you with idiotic questions, every evening i went to the pier to feed the fish bread (the locals said you can't do that, but i threw it anyway), and not a single person the whole trip tried to sell me a tour at triple the price.

We went to Dahab through our agency in December and overall I was happy, although the hotel turned out to be old and the wi-fi in the room lived its own life... but that's minor stuff, because the sea there is just a fairy tale, the water is clear, the fish are multicolored, I didn't even expect that I would get so into simple snorkeling, even though I'm usually indifferent to that kind of thing, and here I just got stuck for an hour by the reef and didn't notice how I got sunburned. the only thing that stressed me out — the guide on the trip deeper into the country kept rushing the group and told everything kind of rushed, we had to ask again, but the views in the desert are really worth putting up with these inconveniences

Тур агенттігі жақсы ұйымдастырды, ұшақ та, қонақ үй де уақытында болды, тек қонақ үйдегі интернет баяулау болды, бірақ ол маған кедергі келтірмеді, себебі күні бойы теңізде жүзіп, сноркелинг жасап жүрдім.

Took a tour to Dahab spontaneously a couple of days before departure, just wanted to go to the sea and that's it. The hotel turned out simple, no pathos, but clean – the AC was noisy as a tractor, though, had to sleep with the balcony door closed. On the very first day I went to the local reef, rented the gear on site, the mask pinched a bit, but I've neverr seen fish like that. The food in the cafes is tasty and cheap, though one time they brought some unclear dish instead of what I ordered. I flew back tired but happy, still five stars for this trip, even though the transfer was delayed by half an hour.

Bought a tour to Dahab and never once regretted it, though the flight left me insanely exhausted. The hotel is pretty basic, but I claimed my own lounger by the sea at six in the morning — there's wind there, corals right by the shore if you go a bit to the left of the pier, and that whole thing with sand in your swim trunks drove me crazy.. Water +24, mornings are honestly chilly though, but the snorkeling — off the charts

I bought a tour to Dahab from the agency and never regretted it, even though the hotel turned out to be pretty basic and the wifi in the room barely worked. But the sea, the people, the vibe — all of it more than made up for the small inconveniences, and I still remember those days with a smile. I came back rested and very happy, five out of five, and that's without any reservations.
