Spacious detached house with private garden. Three bedrooms of which 2 are doubles and one has 2 singles. Bedouin shelter and seating in garden. Airconditioning, kitchen with fridge and 4 hobs, large dining and lounge area with satellite Tv and MP3/bluetooth speakers. We have an ethical policy of using biodegradable toilletries (provided) and cleaning materials in the house. We employ local bedouins and egyptians at fair wages. We can arrange activities including scuba diving, snorkelling, bedouin culture, camel safari and more. A percentage of the house rent goes to the bedouin school and a percentage of any dive packages funds education of the local population in marine conservation. We work with the local Sheikh's community and womens' projects. Dahab is not overdeveloped and the villa is in the centre of a small and friendly town not an anonymous resort. We are 200 metres form the sea front with it's relaxed restaurants and bars.

The villa is located in the small town of Dahab. Dahab is less than an hours drive north of sharm el sheikh through the Red Mountains of Sinai. Tours can be taken into the mountains, to Mount Sinai itself and St Catherine's monastry at it's base. There is a large sandy lagoon beach to the south side of town, excellent for windsurfing and in the telegraph's top 80 beaches in the world. There's plenty of snorkelling and shore diving the coral reef to the centre and north of town. Dahab looks out across the gulf of Aqaba and there are beautiful sunrises over Saudi Arabia in the distance and beautiful sunsets in the mountains of Sinai. We are also close enough to Israel and Jordan to take tours to sights such as Taba and Petra.

We have a bedouin Husha outside. This is a shelter with bedouin seating in it for relaxing in the breeze. Smokers are welcome but please smoke outside. There are plenty pools within a few hundred meters. Just ask the hotels if you can use them. They may expect you to buy drinks or pay a couple of English pounds to use, they will be pleased to have your business.

Review Submitted: November 30, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
Comfy, clean and spcious house.

Great outside seating for lounging and reading.

Diving excellent for beginners to experienced.

The mountains are beautiful and you can do as much or as little as you like.

Dahab is relaxed and chilled. It used to be a hippy enclave and retains the mellowness and friendliness.

The many restaurants serve great food and the nightclubs are relaxed.

It's lovely and warm for escaping the winter blues. And there are lots of camels!!

Review Submitted: October 29, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
A clean spaceous building within a large walled enclosure. In a good state of repair, with effective airconditioning, when required, and insect mesh on windows (not required most of the year). Most of the time there was a strong breeze that made the climate very comfortable - but don't forget to use sun cream. A quiet location in the town, close to shops and dive centres, and the sea. Local contact available for any queries/problems.
My first time to the Red Sea. I am not a diver, but did snorkel for the first time (in my 63 years). Town is well provided with restaurants, bars, nightclubs; with a long pedestrian promenade for evening strolls. Local traders exert only light jovial persuasion to buy. All very laid back. Not over commercialised/modernised but just about everything is there.
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet holiday, with a ethnic flavour. For a diver, it is a location that must not be missed.
