No visit to Dahab would be complete without a visit to the Blue Hole to snorkel. The Blue Hole is a circular hole on the inner side of the reef. It is about 40 metres in diameter and is 100 metres deep. Do not confine your snorkeling to the hole, rather dive along the outer wall, the marine life is... More

Profound deep blue sea, you cann't see the bottom, too far. Equipment is provided for about EGP 50. Hotels provide trips to the Blue Hole.

I visited the Blue Hole and it was fantastic. Amazing how divers and snorkelers are in the same area and both getting value for money. The visibility was great and I saw hundreds of species of fish. A must visit if you ever come to Dahab.

We set off at 10am and walked to the Blue Hole, we were joined by a Russian lady we could only understand her name as 'Nadia' but we took photos of each other when we reached the hole 3k's later. It was well worth the walk.

I have been diving few time already at the Blue Hole. Such an amazing dive site, particularly if you start from El Bell on the left and drift along the wall to go to the entrance of the blue hole. Amazing variety of fish outside the hole, don't forget to keep an eye on the blue for the big stuff... More

Thi was an amazing experience, I suggest to anyone to go there who would enjoy seeing the beautiful fish live in the most amazing waters. I don't swim and certainly not in the ocean but this place changed that forever. Totally going back there soon.

The Red Sea is one of the most beautiful places and the snorkelling is fantastic. Dahab which is not as commercial as Sharm is even more beautiful .. If you love the sea, snorkelling this is a must must on your trip to Dahab. Get one of the bedouins to take you by taxi, take a picnic and enjoy till... More
