Guided trip
Hello! My name is Dina. I am 28 years old and I love to travel. Since the beginning of 2022, my friend Katrina and I have been living in the heart of the Sinai Peninsula, in Dahab. And right now we want to show people this underrated place. We want to give you the best experience with great care and love. Dahab is a unique city in South Sinai, Egypt. It's a mix of local culture, fascinating nature, and brave activities. This city was able to unite and fall in love with two absolutely opposite categories of vacationers - those who love a calm and even secluded vacation, and those who prefer an active weekend. Clear water, comfortable beaches, and leisurely walks along the promenade. And at the same time, numerous fans of windsurfing, diving, and kite surfing are striving to Dahab. Nature has created the most suitable conditions for them here. Another indisputable advantage of Dahab is its refreshing breeze, which makes the local heat not so suffocating. Dahab is rightfully considered one of the best resorts in Egypt and it is a must to visit it. This trip includes a diving course for everyone. It will take 4 days and after finishing that you will get a certificate. Also we will gather together for a dinner and party to celebrate New Year's eve in a nice company together. What is included: 🏩 Bed in double/twin room in cozy hotel 🤿 Diving course! 🧆 Breakfast 🥾 Hiking 🏜 Quad bikes safari 🥙 Bedouin dinner 💃 Salsa class and party 🥰 Our love and care from the moment you sign-up for the whole trip 💁‍♀️ Awesome people along your trip Looking forward to meeting you all in Egypt! See you soon 👋

The local nature is famous for its clear sea water and rich underwater wildlife which makes the bay one of the most popular diving sites in the world.

We leave on the sunset and head to the desert. We will spend couple of hours in the mountains stargazing, eating traditional dinner by the fire and drinking Bedouin tea and get acquainted with the most ancient inhabitants of the desert. We will be invited to sit on the carpets by the fire and be served Bedouin tea - sweet black tea with desert healing herbs marmarea and habak. We will take a closer look at how lovingly the Bedouins treat this little rite, passing us cups with fragrant tea. After we will enjoy the dinner cooked in the traditional way on fire: barbecue with rice and vegetables grown in the vicinity of Dahab.
