Dahab

Lighthouse Reef and Eel Garden, Dahab Dahab's town reefs sit right off the shore. At Lighthouse Reef you simply walk in over a gently sloping bottom and find a wide variety of corals and fish, with turtles and blue-spotted rays as a bonus. Nearby, Eel Garden holds the town's largest colony of garden eels, which vanish into the sand as you approach and slowly rise again if you float still. Dahab is a windsurfing and kitesurfing town, and currents at Eel Garden turn dangerous on windy days, so save it for calm weather.
