Beautiful 3 bedroom (sleeps 6) Egyptian villa in the stunning Bedouin resort of Dahab, South Sinai, Egypt. Villa completed end of 2008 and is only minutes walk from local amenities, shops and the beach. Located in the centre of the residential area where you are surrounded by local homes and their children and camels! Miles away from your typical holiday home complex but only a short walk from such facilities should you require them.

The second floor in reached via external staircase and comprises of a utility room with automatic washing machine and separate more private double en-suite guest bedroom. The second floor offers stunning views of the sea and the mountains and would ideally suit an adult couple or teenage children, due to the external staircase this room would not be recommended for young children. The garden comprises of a terrace area for eating/drinking and simple raised garden areas with native species such as hibiscus and bougainvillea offering year round colour.
Dahab is a small and ever increasingly popular holiday resort located 80km from Sharm el Sheik international airport. It is not your typical holiday resort with high rise buildings and international burger chains. Dahab used to once only cater for the more adventurous overland traveler but is now a world renowned haven for windsurfing and scuba diving and popular with visitors from all over the world. The stunning reefs of the red sea are located on the shore making scuba diving and snorkeling easy without the need for boat trips. Mount Sinai and St Catherine’s Monastery, a very popular day trip, is close by and easily accessible from Dahab, as are numerous desert safari options. It is even easy to make a trip to Cairo (via Sharm airport) to visit the pyramids or Luxor for the temples. Dahab is also a useful base to make further trips into neighbouring Israel and Jordan with the international ferry less than an hour away.
