Question 1

Is alcohol legal in Dahab?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dahab is a tourist town inside South Sinai; most bars and restaurants serve beer, wine and cocktails openly. Drinking on the public beach is technically discouraged, but on the bar terraces it's normal.

Question 2

How late do bars stay open in Dahab?

Accepted Answer

Most close between 01:00 and 02:00. Friday and Saturday run later — Shaman and The Funny Mummy will push past 02:00 on a busy night.

Question 3

What's a typical bar bill?

Accepted Answer

A local Stella beer is 70–100 EGP (~$1.50–2). Cocktails sit at 120–180 EGP at most bars; Drift's craft list runs 200–280 EGP.

Question 4

Are there any clubs in Dahab?

Accepted Answer

No proper nightclub in the Sharm sense. Shaman is the closest — DJ nights, themed parties — but the dancefloor is small.

Question 5

Where's the sundowner spot?

Accepted Answer

Yalla Bar on El Masbat for the people-watching scene. Tota at the Lighthouse for a quieter view. The Funny Mummy's terrace works year-round.
