BEDOUIN MOON DAHAB

Lying to the north of Dahab bay, where the Sinai mountains seem to kiss the sea, lies the Bedouin Moon Hotel. You can watch the lazy, wind-ruffled waves of the Red Sea lap the shore from any of its sea-view rooms or from the front terrace, where breakfast (lunch and dinner too if you want it) are served. On a clear day, and frankly in this part of the world it's seldom anything but, you can see Saudi Arabia just across the water. The hotel is just 2km from the hustle and bustle of the bay area, a short walk or even shorter taxi ride away for the lazy. Newly built features include a yoga room, a new swimming pool, a pool bar and gardens that nesstle at the base of the mountains.

Built in traditional Arabic style and tastefully decorated with Bedouin-style furnishings, the hotel was the first Bedouin-owned hotel in Dahab. Our beachfront has sun-loungers, cushions and mats and plenty of shade. All 26 rooms are en-suite, many with air conditioning and unrivalled sea views across the Gulf of Aqaba. The hotel restaurant offers Western and local food that suits Veggies and meat eaters alike. Reception is staffed 24-hours a day. We hope you find it a perfect setting to experience and share in the generous culture of the Sinai Bedouin, that will make you want to return again and again.

Although only a modest two star hotel - it is now under the managment of Reef2000. There are many positive changes, including our new Pool Garden where you can relax and enjoy the best view in Dahab. The kitchen offers a new menu combining the best of international and middle eastern fare. The hotel still retains its friendly and familiar atmosphere and the vast majority of our clients prefer to stay here.

You can also immerse yourself in the Bedouin lifestyle by going on a Camel Safari – travel in traditional style to your favourite dive sites! For total relaxation why not consider a Yoga Diving Course – learn relaxation, breathing and posture techniques that will greatly enhance your underwater experiences.
