A few places we like — good food within easy reach, and diving in one of the best spots in the world. Each one shows how far it is from the compound, on foot and by car.
Sit down, take away, or have it delivered to your door.
Property of Ghazala Restaurant & Lounge
A restaurant and lounge, the closest place on this list — an easy stroll from the compound for dinner or a drink, and a day-and-night hangout by its own description.
Property of Roots Kushary
Egyptian comfort food built around koshary — rice, lentils and pasta under a tomato sauce. Eat in, or have it brought to the door.
Property of Box Meal
An easy-going place with an international menu and Asian influences. Eat in, take away or order delivery; vegetarian choices are on the menu.
Property of Nirvana Indian Restaurant
An Indian restaurant by the sea, with curries, rice and fresh salads — vegetarian choices are on the menu.
Property of Tim's Munch
A cafe with sea views serving breakfast and lunch — the Egyptian and American breakfasts are the favourites.
Dahab is one of the world's great places to dive. In busy months it is worth booking ahead.
A dive centre in Masbat Bay: scuba courses and guided dives, technical (TDI) diving, freediving and liveaboard safaris.
A dive centre offering scuba diving and snorkelling activities, on the southern side of Dahab.
Times and distances are measured from the compound along real streets: walking at an easy pace, driving without traffic. Opening hours and menus change, so check the place on Google Maps before you set out.
