Sinai · Assalah, Dahab

Assalah evenings

Campfires, acoustic music and cushions by the water: night in Dahab.

Budget

In Dahab, the evening resembles nothing else on the coast: no clubs, but cafés that light a fire, bring out a guitar and let the night pass. Divers go to bed early, the others stay until dawn.

The extra bit

The best nights are not advertised: ask at the café where you had dinner what is on that evening.

Know before you go

Alcohol is served in some venues only, and Dahab is a small town: nights there are quiet.
