This pearl of the gulf actually consists of two villages, the Bedouin village of Assalah is the southern half, with the business and administrative center of Dahab to the north. Dahab means 'Gold' in Arabic. In Sinai it means golden sands, turquoise sea and off-beat cafe life.
It is a focus of tourism development, with swaying palms, fine sand and wonderful snorkeling opportunities. Dahab has excellent hotel accommodations, but also affords less expensive housing in the village, or camping. About five miles from town is the Blue Hole, one of the famous dive sites in the area.
