About this experience
An hour and a half north of Dahab the coast opens into Nuweiba — a string of quiet lagoons and wide, empty beaches backed by the Sinai mountains. This full-day trip follows the spectacular coast road to the Blue Lagoon, a shallow turquoise bay that's both a world-class kitesurfing spot and a perfect place to float and snorkel. You'll stop at uncrowded beaches, share a Bedouin lunch by the water, and be back in Dahab by evening. A relaxed, scenic day with almost no other tourists.

Why book with Ask Dahab
Local, vetted operators
We only work with dive centres, guides and boats already established in Dahab — the same operators you'd find if you spent a week asking around town.
No online payment, no risk
Requesting a date costs nothing and takes no card details. You pay the operator directly, in person, on the day.
Real replies, not a bot
A person checks availability with the operator and gets back to you on WhatsApp, usually within a few hours.
Transparent pricing
The price shown is the indicative local price. We confirm the exact total with you before you commit to anything.
Safety & cancellation
Cancellation
You don't pay anything when you request a date, so there's no deposit and nothing to refund. If your plans change, message us on WhatsApp as early as you can so we can free up the spot with the operator. Some operators may have their own on-the-day policy for very last-minute changes — we'll flag it if it applies to your booking.
Safety
Every experience runs through an established local operator: PADI/SSI-certified instructors for diving and freediving, IKO-certified instructors for kitesurfing, and experienced Bedouin guides for desert, mountain and camel trips. Safety equipment is included wherever the activity needs it — see What's Included above for specifics — and group sizes are capped so guides can keep an eye on everyone.
