6 places
01
Athanor
Handmade Italian, sunset views over the lighthouse.
The pasta is fresh and the kitchen is small — book before 8 in season. Sit on the upper deck for the sunset over the lighthouse.
Open category02
Bedouin Star
Traditional Bedouin on the south water, fish straight from the boat.
South Dahab, on the water — the trip there is part of the experience. Order the catch of the day grilled, the bedouin bread, and the cardamom tea after.
Open category03
Everyday
All-day café, vegan-friendly, fast wifi for remote work mornings.
If you're going to work remotely one morning, this is the chair. Big breakfast, oat-milk flat whites, wifi that holds video calls. They also do a great mezze plate at lunch.
Open category04
Furry Cup
Bar food, locals, open late, cash only.
Open later than you'd expect for a small town. Pizza is solid, the burger is bigger than it looks, and the crowd is half divers half kiters.
Open category05
Ralph's German Bakery
Sourdough, pretzels, German pastries — open from 7 a.m.
The dark sourdough loaf sells out by 10 most mornings. Their cardamom rolls are the only ones in town.
Open category06
Tota
Mediterranean, considered cooking, small wine list that pairs.
The most considered cooking in Dahab — small menu that changes weekly. Book ahead for the terrace.
