Tell me about the good/bad on Dahab

[mafiajoe]

but a pool with some hot babes around will do just fine.

Cheers,

Eh,the good ones are already taken,they come with their boyfriends or husbands.The ones on their own are the proverbial mingers (i soliti cessi in other words).
That's what Tom kept complaining of
Buona fortuna comunque

The good?If you like italian this is the best Italian restaurant in Dahab:DAI PESCATORI ITALIAN FISH RESTAURANT
I will pay Nader(the Italian/Egyptian owner)a visit in exactly one week time.Yummy!

If food is you thing don't miss Nesima's Nesima Resort - Hotel, Diving, Dining & Tours - Dahab, Egypt El Dorado : Restaurant
and The Blue Beach.. Blue Beach Club, Dahab, Sinai, Egypt

Diving - fabulous.. in fact simply spectacular

Fantasea are a good dive centre. Small(ish), well run and will give you a decent time certainly.

Not sure what you mean by "village" unless you mean the street consisting of nothing but hotels by Medina in which case other than hotels there is nothing there at all. Its an OK place to stay if you want to live in the hotel.

Coral Coast is nearer the main area of town (2 mins walk from lighthouse). Its right next to El Dorado which is probably the best Italian and far cheaper than the amazingly expensive pescatori place. Also has Blue Beach 100m away for the best steaks in town.

As for hot babes, forget it. Try Sharm!

I was thinking about going to Sharm but I'm traveling alone this time so probebly just relax and dive is the thing to do. If I was going witha group, I would do Sharm I think. Maybe its cool also for just a single traveler?? As long as I get those good dive in too.

 

[String]

Sharm is a different type of place. Its like blackpool with sun. Chain restaurants, chain retail outlets, no real character, could be anywhere on earth. Its more frantic and about twice as expensive too. But there is good diving out of there like anywhere else in Egypt!

Aah, life is strange isn't it?

Some 15 years ago, the biggest operators in Dahab were Adventure (now closed), Fantasea (was located at the Lighthouse area and was called the beach monster, now described as smallish), Club Red (now selling at dirt cheap prices), Inmo (still doing fine but no way to be compared to the 90s), and South Dive Club (used to be in Coralia, now closed).

Does this ring a bell?

 

[BadabingM3]

Times sure do change things. I've never been to that area but as long as the dive shop has a crew that knows what their doing, don't disapoint and cater to the customer that is good enough. I plan on diving Nitrox, they say they have it so I hope they are compatent at filling Nitrox tanks and don't screw stuff up.

I was in the Maldives last September on one of the BAA atols and the dive shop there was small, only had 3 instructors but they were real good at running their shop, instructing and compatent so that's what counts.

Sounds like Fantasea is not going to be a disapointment...I hope.

 

[Red Sea Shadow]

A dive center with 3 permanent instructors is not considered small any more in Dahab.

I hope you have a good trip. And by the way I'm not trying to influence your decision against them. I'm just interested in history.
