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

Yes, absolutely safe throughout all day and night. You can go out anytime with 0 worries anything bad will happen to you. Egyptian restaurants there are for the win. There are a couple of other chinese/russian and italian restaurants but Egyptian ones are by far the best there.

It's a safe town but I'm not one to go out much at night so I can't judge the night, I think everyone should be responsible for their own safety .The important thing is to wear clothes that cover your body.

This place is more than wonderful, it charges energy for life, the safest place in Egypt actually, the sea, the walkways, the bike riding, the pets everywhere, everything is wonderful, I wish I could try diving but I will do it next time God willing

Dahab is a very safe city considering it is a travelling destination for locals and foreigners. The police make sure the place is safe for everyone. The only relatively worrying thing in the city are bedouin kids. They are trouble makers but definitely not dangerous.
