Travel to Dahab

Travel to Dahab is relatively simple - there are a number of flights direct from Gatwick and Manchester Airports that fly direct to nearby Sharm El Sheik, after which it’s only a 40km or so coach drive to Dahab itself.

However, here are a few travel tips:

1. Travel Visa: It costs around £10 per person to enter the country - if you enter Egypt at Cairo you’ll have already paid this. If flying direct to Sharm El Sheik, there’s no visa to pay within Sharm itself - but you do need to pay once you leave that area. From the UK, make sure you have money ready to pay for your visa for entry. Rates are charged in US dollars, and use small denomination pound notes and coins to over this. Egyptians are not famous for giving back proper change from a £20! More Egypt travel advice from the foreign office.

2. Vaccinations: At present, there are no mandatory requirements for inoculation in Egypt for the Red Sea coast. However, a number of vaccinations for Egypt are recommended.

3. Insurance: As with all holidays overseas, do ensure you have full and proper travel insurance.
