Dahab returns to becoming a popular resort

Dahab is on its way back to becoming a popular beach resort, after the past few years yielded “circumstances [that] certainly affected a pause in tourism development,” Nick Redmayne writes for The Independent. However, there are many who remain wary about the town’s rising popularity and are concerned that there are efforts to shape it to become akin to Sharm El Sheikh. “This place is never going to be like Sharm El Sheikh, though they’re trying. But the beach here is Bedouin ownership … [the Bedouins] will never agree,” one dive shop owner says.
