Why this trip
Dahab is a place for slowing down: a strip of coast on the Gulf of Aqaba, mountains behind you, the sea on your doorstep. Here families find a relaxed alternative to Egypt's big hotel cities, especially from October to April, when the heat is mild. At the Light House and the Eel Garden, both well-known snorkelling and diving sites, the reef can be observed from the shallow water. This is an experience for children who discover their first fish with mask and snorkel, best with experienced supervision and a life jacket.
The canyon in the hinterland is one of the well-known places in the area and is better suited to excursions for older children with adults who can judge the paths and weather. The flight time is around 4 to 4.5 hours, which is still very manageable for children. Sharm El Sheikh, El Gouna and Hurghada are nearby, but changes between the places require long drives, so a fixed base is worthwhile. Choose accommodation with a family room and a short walk to the water.
In the video call with Swiss Vibes you can calmly agree on the children's ages and swimming wishes.
