Dahab Festival (Water Sports)
Dahab, Egypt, is the kind of destination you imagine in fairytales or see on a breathtaking poster. The place was once just a tiny Bedouin village inhabited mainly by fishermen and visited by a few backpackers and hippies. Still, over the years, it has emerged as a unique international destination for anyone seeking a non-all-inclusive, off-the-beaten-track getaway in a North African paradise. This small town has a rich local culture, fascinating traditions, and lovely seas with astonishing coral reefs. Dahab always leaves visitors with unforgettable memories and adventures, from windsurfing, snorkeling, and various water sports to trekking and horse-riding in the picturesque landscape.
