Transit & practical
Dahab has no metro or railway network. Transportation relies entirely on walking, bicycles, pickup trucks, and private taxis.
Fly into Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH), approximately 90 km south. Pre-arrange a private taxi transfer (around 1 hour through Sinai mountain passes) or take the East Delta public bus from Sharm's central bus station.
Apps: No ride-hailing apps operate here; hail street pickups or ask your accommodation for trusted local drivers
Tipping (baksheesh) is an integral part of Egyptian culture. Leave 10–15% at beachfront restaurants, round up taxi rides, and tip dive instructors, boat crews, and Bedouin guides generously. · Sockets: C, F
