Dahab
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.
Diving In Dahab
The coral peninsula that makes up the unique geography of Dahab is renowned for its popular dive sites: Blue Hole, Canyon and Lighthouse. Experienced divers return year after year to witness the wonders of their depths, while novice divers marvel at the beauty of even the shallowest of reefs.

It's unique because it holds a wealth of ancient sites and it attract a lot of tourists. Today's visitors come by cruise boat, or by plane, or even on an overnight train.
There are many attractions, and most people have heard of them well before they ever came to Egypt: the majestic temples of Luxor and Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings, where countless Pharoahs were buried, including Tutankhamun of the gold mask.
Today, Luxor boasts many amenities and facilities for visitors from diverse countries and cultures. The city has a variety of hotels, bars and restaurants to accommodate a wide range of tastes. There is even a championship golf course as a change from sightseeing.
Greatly adding to the charm of Luxor is the fact that many official and government buildings are of a "pharaonic" style of architecture.
