Dahab is a relaxed coastal town on the Gulf of Aqaba, in South Sinai, between the mountains and a sea that drops quickly into deep water. It is known for diving and for a slower pace than the big resort towns.

Our trip here is a guided Royal Seascope semi-submarine tour: an air-conditioned, glass-walled deck below the waterline with huge panoramic windows, for about an hour and a half, leaving from Dahab Public Beach.
