Dahab is Sinai’s mecca for windsurfers. Its extreme landscape of gold and turquoise is a breathtaking background for a fun-filled surfing holiday. The large bay located south of the village of Assalah is known among surfers as “Fun Park”, as it offers as many as three perfect surfing spots in one. From the flat-water area for beginners to the outer spot behind the sand bank with strong wind blowing from the sea, the Fun Park has plenty of wind and loads of thrills. Dahab has an impressive wind record with around 300 days a year of wind between Force 4 and 7. It also has the benefit of a range of conditions to suit all levels of windsurfer. Many international competitions are held in town every year. A range of other less extreme and more relaxed watersports are available as well, from top-class snorkelling to canoeing, glass-bottom boats and much more. |
