Get around Dahab with Ask Sinai

Dahab has no ride-hailing giant — so we built our own. Ask Sinai is the Ask Dahab ride app: open it, drop a pin, and a verified local driver takes you to the reef, the bus station, or anywhere along the coast. Fares are agreed up front, you can pay cash, and every trip is tracked end to end. Here is the whole journey, screen by screen.

Step 2

Set your pickup

Move the map to drop your pickup pin. Local landmarks like Dahab Square, Dahab City Center and Misr Petroleum help you place it exactly where you are standing.

• Drag-the-map pin for precise pickup
• Plus-code address (e.g. FFQX+GX) confirmed automatically

Step 3

Pickup and destination sit in one clear panel. Type where you are going — say, Dahab Bus Station — or pick from recent locations.

• Pickup and destination shown together
• Search or reuse a recent location
• Confirm Destination to price the trip

Step 4

Confirm the fare

See the recommended fare up front and nudge it with plus or minus if you want. No hidden surge, no meter surprises — the price you agree is the price you pay.

Ask Sinai connects you with nearby drivers and shows the trip at a glance — pickup, destination, distance and estimated time — while you wait.

• Live search for nearby captains
• Trip distance and ETA on screen
• Cancel the booking any time before a match

Step 6

Accept a driver

Driver offers arrive with a price and a name. Every driver is verified, so you can accept the one that suits you or decline and wait for the next.

• All drivers verified before they can offer
• Accept or Decline each offer
• Cancel the request from the top bar if plans change

Step 7

Track your ride

Once matched, the live map shows your captain heading to the pickup and then on to your destination — Heading to Dahab Bus Station, in this example.

• Real-time route on the map
• Agreed fare stays visible throughout
• Follow every turn to your drop-off

Step 8

Your captain arrives

A clear progress strip — Booked, On the way, Arrived — tells you exactly where things stand, with a one-tap call button and an SOS control for peace of mind.

• Booked → On the way → Arrived progress
• Call your captain in one tap
• Built-in SOS button for safety

Step 9

Arrive and rate

At the end you get a tidy receipt — total fare, distance, duration and driver — plus a quick star rating so good captains get the credit they deserve.
