DAHAB YOGA HOLIDAYS
Dahab, Red Sea: Throughout the Year at the Bedouin Moon Hotel or Dahab Paradise
Dahab is a small and friendly holiday village on the Gulf of Aqaba, South Sinai, Egypt. A northern reach of the Red Sea, it developed from a tiny Bedouin settlement to one of the most popular scuba diving sites in the world due to its extremely beautiful coral reefs. It has a very laid back atmosphere, so is ideal for a yoga holiday.

Accommodation in Dahab
The yoga holidays take place at The Bedouin Moon Hotel, situated on a quiet beachfront a short distance north of Dahab's Asallah village. The Bedouin Moon is a small and friendly hotel, with simple but comfortable rooms. All rooms have a balcony or terrace, en-suite shower and toilet, and either sea or mountain views. There is a pool with the best poolside views in Dahab, from where you can see the whole bay, with the stunning scenic mountains behind you and Saudi Arabia in the distance in front of you.
The hotel has a magnificent custom built yoga room making your yoga practice special and inspirational. It is built into the foot of the mountain at the back of the hotel giving it a cave like ambiance, which is perfect for yoga practice considering yogis have been meditating in caves since yoga started over 4000 years ago.
There are two yoga classes per day, at 8.00am & 5.30pm, with one free day per week. During the week guests are invited to join an optional Desert Dinner: Meditate in a silence incomparable to any other. Watch for shooting stars in a sky with a million and have dinner cooked by local Bedouin in traditional style. People are so struck they never want to leave. You will also have the opportunity to go on a mini safari to the Three Pools diving & snorkelling site, where we will practice our morning yoga session by the sea shore. Afterwards you will be delighted by a Bedouin breakfast & you can then dive or snorkel. The Three Pools is named due to the natural formation of coral pools, each connecting to the other.
The group also generally go out for dinner together a couple of evenings in the week to one of Dahab's many restaurants.
On your day off you can visit the famous Mount Moses and/or visit St Katherine’s Monastery. You can also go to snorkel at Ras Abu Galum, a small Bedouin village one hour north of Dahab up the coastline. Bedouin live there as they have done for centuries and it is still without electricity. There is wonderful snorkelling there and you can stay the night there hosted by Bedouin.
