    I had a fantastic experience at the diving center. Despite my late request, they accommodated me and arranged a refreshing dive the next morning. Mohamed Helmy, the instructor, was very professional and made sure I felt comfortable diving after a year's break. Samar and the rest of the staff were also helpful in preparing my gear. Thanks for making my next dive in Dahab memorable! I highly recommend this diving center.

    I recently stayed at a beautiful hotel on the waterfront in Dahab. It was just a few minutes' walk from the center, but much more peaceful and away from the noise. The restaurant, overlooking the sea and gorgeous mountains, offered a complementary breakfast that was a great way to start the day. The rooms, whether in the main building or in a bungalow, were clean and had all the necessary amenities. The staff, including Ashraf and his brother, Sarah, were fantastic - always friendly, professional, and helpful. This hotel is definitely my go-to choice in Dahab.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    The hotel owner, Shams, is a certified diving instructor and offers a reasonably priced intro dive. The hotel is clean and staff are friendly. The location is quiet yet close to the bus station, shops, and restaurants. The balcony offers a perfect view of the sea. The authentic Egyptian breakfast provided by the staff is delicious. Shams also organizes trips to popular diving sites and attractions, such as the Blue Hole and Abu Galoum protectorate.

    Felt exceptional, no reason to complain.

    The rooms were clean and had comfortable beds, making for a good night's sleep. The location of the hotel was convenient, with easy access to snorkelling and diving spots. Additionally, the helpful and friendly staff provided useful information about transportation and tours.

    During our stay, there was extensive renovation work being done, resulting in noise and some unrenovated rooms. However, the manager did apologize and try to make up for the inconvenience.

    The hotel offered free breakfast along with a great view. The location was superb, with easy access to the beach and other tourist spots. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were nicely arranged. The staff was extremely helpful and made sure our stay was comfortable.

    The room could have been a bit cleaner. The linen and pillows were a bit dirty and didn't appear to have been washed recently.
