Escape to the Mountains
Looking for even more peace and quiet? Head away from the shoreline and retreat to Sinai’s mountains. Enveloped by a dramatic mountainous range, a visit to Dahab is not complete without withdrawing into the solitude of its desert valleys, caves, and canyons.
Get active and choose from a variety of activities to explore Sinai’s mountains, from rock climbing to hiking, quad biking, and desert safaris.
Please check with your hotel, tour operator, licensed guide, or authorized travel agency for planning any desert excursion to ensure that your chosen destination is accessible and open to the public.
