There’s nowhere quite as iconic as The Blue Hole. A gaping sinkhole protected by a striking reef, there is often a little wind but usually no waves or current.

A short swim from the shore (30m) gives us access to 90+ meters of depth.

Dahab is a small town on the southeast coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, roughly 80 km northeast of Sharm el-Sheikh. Originally a Bedouin fishing village, it still has a sleepy, backwater feel to it, but there’s always a buzz: with great cafés, beaches, swimming spots, and mountains, it’s no surprise this is the freediving community’s hot spot. We will hike into the wadi, swim at eel gardens and enjoy plenty of downtime around the village.

Just behind Assala Square our house is brand new for 2025. A clutch of stylish, self-contained apartments that wrap around a glistening private pool.

All rooms have aircon, ensuites, washing machine, fridge and private balcony. Every room is shared, twin or double, and the pool area and roof terrace are perfect for STA and stretching.
