I often leave the door of my house open and people leave the bikes around. Worse case a child may borrow it but it will also bring it back. There are cameras everywhere and foreigners safety is taken very seriously. It can happen that a guy tells you a word or two in the streets or looks at you in unpleasant, way. But it's rare and nothing more than that really happens. In general people here are used to foreigners and respect different cultures.

Is Dahab worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.2 /5

based on 9 experiences from female travelers

Family travel

Loved the people—so kind—and the culture. The prices are a little touristy. I tried diving in the sea; it was an amazing experience. However, the changing area was not clean enough. You can wear what you want and enjoy the restaurants and cafes by the sea.

Solo travel

I did feel very safe in the hub locals are friendly and willing to help. I really recommend doing yoga at the beach. Also renting a bike and going to the near beaches having fun. There is a lot of cheap Airbnb's and it's really nice.
