Where to eat in Dahab
Dahab is the second tourist destination par excellence in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt and, fortunately, much remains to be exploited. The beach at Dahab is built mainly in the south with a few shops and restaurants with fish and other Egyptian food.
I spent four nights in Dahab and except for a tour devoted myself mainly to dive and fill your belly with delicious fresh fish. Upon exiting the water at the end of the day was hungry and easy hospitality of the place was ideal for both the stomach and the pocket.
The first day I hit a good binge in the World: A restaurant that, like most others, I agreed with the chef what to eat for 60 dinars looking silver gleaming fish and seafood on ice. The truth is that the dish that arrived was much more than I expected: starters, a delicious fish accompanied by squid, rice and vegetables. Moreover, with unparalleled sea views.
DahabLos restaurant other restaurants Dahab’s main promenade work the same way. They specialize in seafood. No need to take a look at the menu, you round up the price at the entrance to the chef. You will be putting on a tray that will cook for you according to the price you are interested in paying. They also include appetizers, desserts and whether racing or a shisha and a good tea.
Among the best I discovered the world, Cappone and Ali Baba.

The tour has included a visit to the monastery and the ascent of Mount Sinai. There are two different types of tour: the night to climb the peak at night to see sunrise from the top (not recommended in winter the cold and the wind hits) and one day where he made a visit to montasterio by morning and begins the ascent in the afternoon to watch the sunset at the top.
