Dahab day trips provide an excellent opportunity to explore the mystic landscape of Egypt. Dahab has evolved into one of Egypt’s most-toured destinations, engaging thousands of international visitors each year. Some of the most recommended Dahab day trips include:

Visiting Blue Hole, Canyon & El Bells

Areas around the northern, coastal roads of Dahab are often talked about for their exotic beauty. Among these, the two most popular destinations are the Canyon and the Blue Hole sites. Visitors descend to the Canyon to explore its underwater caves. A highly-specialized type of diving, called arch-diving, is possible at the Blue Hole. Just along the Blue Hole lies El Bells. Here, visitors can undertake snorkeling.

Visiting Ras Abu Gallum

A trip to the Blue Hole area isn't complete without visiting the Ras Abu Gallum. Located just a few minutes away, this is among the lesser-explored of Dahab beach-spots. It is recommended to visitors who seek some tranquility while soaking-up the sun. People who can make it to Ras Abu Gallum during the early morning hours can also visit the Ras Abu Gallum National Park. Visitors can undertake day-long safaris to the interiors of the mainland via a camel ride. This provides an excellent way to explore the dwellings of native tribesmen.

Camping at Wadi Gnay

You won’t find Wadi Gnay being mentioned among the popular travel guides. This is because Wadi is among the lesser-known of Dahab destinations. For starters, it is more like a small hamlet with little or no commercial development. However, it offers an excellent opportunity to camp near the small beachfront. It is located along the outskirts of the main, city area and is accessible via a rented cab. Visitors can use the Wadi Gnay as a base for visiting the popular diving sites like Sea Dancer Dive Center and Poseidon Divers. Climbing can be pursued in Sinai—a small town near Wadi Gnay. Mount Sinai is often frequented by professional climbers for bouldering and rock-climbing.

Exploring the Lagoona

Lagoon has become the favored spot for European vacationers. It has the best of facilities in terms of sports like kite-surfing and windsurfing. Visitors can enroll among any of the surfing schools here to learn these adventure sports. Lagoons is also famous for its golden beaches and numerous, diving spots. Visitors can get a first-hand account of professional diving at the Decompression Chambers—an internationally-popular diving center. Another popular destination for learning and exploring watersports is the PADI Open Water Diver. This place is ideally suited for novice scuba-divers.
