Snapshot
02Overview
Laguna is the stretch of Dahab where the Gulf of Aqaba is at your door, a short way from the busy centre of town. Staying here means a room, the water and your own pace, with no sightseeing timetable and local activities booked only if you want them.
Egypt Discovery arranges your room at Safir Dahab Resort, a five-star hotel run independently. Rooms and meals differ between rates, so get in touch with your dates and we will check exactly what is on offer.
Background
Safir Dahab Resort is a five-star hotel in the Laguna district of Dahab, a town in South Sinai, Egypt. It is run independently, and Egypt Discovery, a licensed Egyptian tour operator, arranges your room there.
Dahab lies on the south-eastern coast of the Sinai Peninsula beside the Gulf of Aqaba, an arm of the Red Sea. Laguna is the district where the resort stands. We do not quote distances or journey times to landmarks.
The resort sits in the wider Red Sea region, between north-east Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. No historical link or UNESCO status is recorded for the hotel itself.
Check-in and check-out times, room types, meal plans and services depend on your dates and booking. Have them confirmed, including any breakfast or board basis, before you reserve.

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Most tours revolve around visits to several sights, whereas this listing is a room at one hotel in Dahab. Room types, meal plans and services follow the details of your booking and not a fixed itinerary.
Choose your room
In Nubian style, this room has a balcony facing the garden and satellite TV. The marble bathroom includes toiletries and a hairdryer, and the air conditioning is individually controlled. Choose two twin beds or one extra-large double; up to four guests are listed. It is a good pick if you want outdoor space and a garden outlook.
Rate on request
Enquire

Enquire

Rate on request
EnquireDining
We cannot give restaurant or bar names, menus, opening hours or meal-plan terms here, although the hotel lists a restaurant, a bar and room service. Ask us to check which places to eat are open during your stay and whether your rate includes breakfast or another meal. A buffet, bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive basis should never be assumed, so check the rate terms. Pass on any dietary needs before booking.
On property
Field notes
Ask if your rate is bed and breakfast, half board, all-inclusive or room only.
Check the check-in and check-out times for your dates before planning onward travel.
If the view or a balcony matters, ask for it in writing.
See whether an airport transfer comes with your rate or must be arranged separately.
Tailor it
Ask us to look at rooms and meal options on your dates. Local activities and trips can be booked separately, and we can talk through a longer stay if you want more time in Dahab.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Treat Dahab as a seaside stop within a longer Egyptian holiday, perhaps together with time in Cairo or a trip to Saint Catherine's Monastery. The resort is in Laguna, south of the central seafront.
Accessibility
Safir Dahab Resort stands in the Laguna district of Dahab on the Gulf of Aqaba. Getting between the lobby, rooms, restaurants and outdoor areas generally means walking, and paths may have uneven paving, steps or sand. The beach is sandy, which many wheelchairs and mobility aids struggle with. Step-free routes, accessible bathrooms and lifts differ by room and building. If you have mobility needs, ask us to check the room and route before booking. We cannot say that every facility or stretch of beach is wheelchair accessible.
Before you go
Ask us for the minimum age, children's room rate and any age-linked meal charges on your dates, since they depend on the room and rate. Pushchairs can cope with paved routes but find sand and uneven outdoor paths hard going near the beach. Check cot, high chair and family room availability with us before booking.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
Safir Dahab Resort has its address in Laguna, Dahab, down on the Sinai Peninsula. The address names the district but gives no distances to landmarks or to the town centre, so we have not quoted any. Dahab is where you will plan local journeys from; ask us for current ways of getting around and journey times on your dates. If a particular spot matters to you, say so before booking.

DahabSwiss Royal Dahab is a four-star hotel in the Red Sea town of Dahab, on the Gulf of Aqaba in South Sinai. Its address is New Mashraba Street, beside an NBE Bank branch, which gives you an easy landmark in town. The listing shows a restaurant, bar, spa, garden, rooftop terrace and beach access among its amenities. As the address is a town street rather than a waterfront one, check how far the shore is from the hotel. Room details, meals and services are confirmed with us when you book.
DahabDahab Paradise is a three-star hotel at 3 Blue Hole Road in Dahab, on the Gulf of Aqaba side of the Sinai Peninsula. The road heads towards the Blue Hole, a well-known diving and snorkelling spot north of the town.

Ask us to confirm transport, meals and facilities for your dates before you book.

DahabTropitel Dahab Oasis is a four-star hotel on Blue Hole Road in Dahab, South Sinai. The address puts it along the road that links Dahab with the Blue Hole area, which makes it a useful base on this stretch of the Red Sea coast. Room categories, meal plans, facilities and services can differ from one booking to the next, so we check them for your dates before you reserve. Egypt Discovery arranges hotel bookings in Egypt and can explain what your chosen rate covers. This is a hotel stay, not a tour, so trips and transport around Dahab need planning separately unless your reservation says they are included.
