About this experience
Three Pools is exactly what it sounds like — a set of shallow, sheltered turquoise pools separated from the open sea by a sandy reef, north of Dahab. The water is calm and clear, the coral starts right at the edge, and it's shallow enough that nervous swimmers and children feel safe. A small Bedouin café serves tea on the sand. It's the gentlest, most photogenic snorkel near town.
