Dahab is a small beach resort one hour north of Sharm el-Sheikh, on the Sinai Peninsula. It's a growing town, but still small compared to the other resorts along the Red Sea. It's a good place to relax, ride camels with the Bedwin, and scuba dive. Note: I use "bedwin" and not "bedouin" because translation between scripts is not standard and "bedwin" better conveys the correct pronounciation.
