What it is
Princess Restaurant sits in Assalah, the quieter northern neighbourhood of Dahab, away from the seafront crowds of El Masbat and the Lighthouse. The kitchen leans into fusion: Egyptian dishes reworked with international techniques, plus straightforward Western mains for guests who want something familiar. The room is calm and styled for a sit-down dinner rather than a quick stop, which suits couples, small groups and travellers staying off the main strip. Service runs from midday through to 11pm every day, with a slightly later opening on Sundays. With a 4.7 average across roughly 187 reviews, expectations skew higher than the moderate price tag suggests, so booking is sensible at peak times.

FAQ
Where is Princess Restaurant in Dahab?
Princess Restaurant is in Assalah, the quieter northern neighbourhood of Dahab. Coordinates put it inland of the seafront, about 10 minutes by tuk-tuk from the Lighthouse area and around 15 minutes on foot if you're staying nearby.
What does Princess Restaurant serve?
Princess Restaurant serves a fusion menu of Egyptian and international dishes. Expect mezze and starters, salads, pasta, grilled mains and fish, with rotating fusion plates that put local ingredients into Western-style preparations.
What are Princess Restaurant's opening hours?
Princess Restaurant is open daily from around midday until 23:00. Sundays start slightly later at 12:30. There's no break between lunch and dinner, so it works for an early afternoon meal as well as a slower evening sitting.
How much does Princess Restaurant cost?
Princess Restaurant sits in the moderate ($$) bracket. Pasta runs 200–340 EGP, grilled mains 280–500 EGP and fish dishes 350–600 EGP. Two people having a starter, two mains and dessert typically spend 800–1,400 EGP without alcohol.
Does Princess Restaurant take reservations?
Yes, reservations are recommended. Call +20 100 254 3998 to book, particularly for weekend dinners and during peak holiday weeks. The dining room is on the smaller side, so booking a couple of hours ahead is usually enough.
Is Princess Restaurant good for couples?
Yes, Princess Restaurant works well for a quieter date night. Its location off the seafront strip in Assalah keeps the noise down, the styling is set up for sit-down dining rather than fast turnover, and the fusion menu makes ordering more interesting than at a standard tourist restaurant.
Is Princess Restaurant vegetarian-friendly?
The fusion menu typically includes salads, pasta and vegetable starters, so there's usually something for vegetarians, but specific dietary tags aren't published in Google's attributes. Confirm vegan or strict vegetarian options with staff when ordering.
Is Princess Restaurant cash only?
Card acceptance isn't specified in the listing, so plan to pay in cash with Egyptian pounds. ATMs are a short tuk-tuk ride away in El Masbat or the Lighthouse area; it's worth withdrawing on the way.
How do I get to Princess Restaurant?
From central Dahab, take a tuk-tuk to Assalah and ask for Princess Restaurant; the ride is roughly 10 minutes from the Lighthouse area. On foot from El Masbat it's a 20–25 minute walk inland. Drivers can use the listed coordinates 28.5091, 34.5159.
Is Princess Restaurant expensive?
No, Princess Restaurant is mid-range rather than expensive. It sits at the higher end of the moderate ($$) bracket, on par with the better-rated Lighthouse and Mashraba kitchens. The 4.7 average suggests guests feel the food matches or exceeds the price.
Is Princess Restaurant good for families with kids?
Princess Restaurant suits families looking for a calmer dinner away from the seafront crowd. The pace is slower than the strip, and the menu has familiar pasta and grilled options. Specific kid-focused amenities like high chairs aren't confirmed in the listing.
What's the best dish at Princess Restaurant?
There's no single signature dish published in the official listing, so the safe order is one fusion plate, one grilled main and a starter shared between the table. With a 4.7 average across nearly 200 reviews, the kitchen reads as consistent rather than dependent on one hero dish.
