Happy-Kite Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 Many kitesurfers ask us if it's safe to travel to Egypt and Dahab in South Sinai. In recent years Egypt has undergone a period of unprecedented political and social turmoil with most events taking place in Cairo and Northern Sinai. Tourist areas have been largely unaffected and Dahab in particular has avoided any disturbances and remained peaceful throughout this period. Local community thinks that the "travel ban" activated by some foreign offices is not justified and unfair on the local population. Dahab is same cozy windy hospitable little town these days. Local expats stay here realizing no risk to their lives. On behalf of local community our joint opinion that it's not more dangerous here than any where else in the world. We are currently looking forward for the travel warning for Dahab to be removed and welcoming back our friends and guests. Quote
rtz Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 What airport do you recommend one flies into? Then what travel options from the airport to Dahab? Quote
Happy-Kite Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Posted April 7, 2014 Hello, the most convenient airport to fly in is Sharm-el-sheikh International. It is only 45 minutes scenic road transfer to Dahab. Some people however fly to Israel (Tel Aviv or Eilat) and than travel to Sinai. Quote
