Dahab history

Dahab was made from a natural delta which created by the Nile floods from Wadi Dahab. Over thousands of years a lake was made by the solid constructions which were made from the coral reefs, after that Dahab became an oasis with a large lagoon. In the first it was just a small fishing village but after that it became the most important diving destination in Egypt.

Dahab is situated in the southeast coast of the Sinai, it was occupied by Israel. It is already mentioned in the bible in Deutoromy 1:1 as "Dizahab", as one of the stations for the Israelite s during the Exodus from Egypt.
