What can you say that hasn't already been said? It’s near, convenient, lively, windy and an established Mecca for improving windsurfers. The winds and the flat water training areas are legendary. There's a lagoon for beginners, debutante planers and waterstarters; a speed strip of extraordinary beauty for gybers, blasters, cruisers and new and old school freestylers; and meaty open ocean swells for those reaching for the sky. Unlike certain Red Sea locations, Dahab is not isolated. There's a good beach vibe with a growing nymber of beach bars and a gently throbbing night scene just up the road in the town of Maspat.
