About Dahab Holidays

They organise tailor made holidays including accommodation, transfers from the airport and windsurf kit and instruction. They are based in the resort to offer advice and assistance before and during your holiday.

How to get there
Getting to Egypt has become easier and cheaper due to many low cost airlines. The main flight companies are Easyjet, Monarch, Thomson, Thomas cook and Egypt air. Flight time is 5.5 hours to Sharm el Sheikh plus a 1 hour 15 min bus transfer to Dahab.

Where to stay
There is a huge amount of accommodation to choose from in Dahab from 3-5* hotels and apartments. Accommodation starts at £5 per person per night. There are also new apartments available to rent (3 minutes walk from the beach).
The Lagoon Villa Apartments are British owned and have a Jacuzzi pool in the garden, BBQ and sunloungers and are furnished to a high standard. There is a supermarket and off license opposite. The restaurants in town are fantastic and cheap so you don’t even have to cook!
The Harry Nass Centre is located at the 4* Ibis Styles Hotel and the 4* Iberotel Dahabeya. Contact Dahab Holidays for prices and bookings.

Riding on offer
One of the World’s top freestyle locations. Plus it’s great for all levels of windsurfing from beginners and improvers in the Lagoon, to blasting and slalom in the flat water speed strip, to bump and jump conditions further out to sea.
The Harry Nass windsurfing instruction takes place at Centre 1, due to the protected headland and direct entry to the lagoon. This is a really safe area to practice your skills.
Due to the location of Dahab in the Red Sea the wind blows stronger and more consistently, with over 280 days a year above 4 Bft.
