This pearl of the gulf actually consists of two villages; the
Bedouin village of Assalah is the southern half, with the business and
administrative center of Dahab to the north. Dahab means 'gold' in Arabic. In
Sinai it means golden sands, turquoise sea and off-beat cafe life. It is a
focus of tourism development, with swaying palms, fine sand and wonderful
snorkeling opportunities. Dahab is a choice location for windsurfing. Blowing
mostly north to south, the winds not only cool off the hot summers, but also
make Dahab a windsurfer's paradise.
