Dahab

Leaving the laid-back coastal vibe of the Sinai Peninsula for a major metropolitan shift usually requires an overnight commitment. The transit from Dahab across the Suez Canal and into the Egyptian interior spans roughly 500 kilometers each way, translating to a six-to-eight-hour driving day depending on security checkpoints along the way. When I plan an excursion that breaks up this distance with an overnight stay, I look for logistics that handle the desert highway miles while maximizing time at the destination.
