What are you waiting for?
Thinking of visiting Dahab?
The Under Pressure Divers team have been in Dahab for many years now. Those of us who weren’t born locally made our way to Dahab, like a lot of people, because we had heard vague rumours of this chilled out paradise by the sea, with a unique relaxed lifestyle, and some incredible diving just off the beaches.
We weren’t wrong!
Since we rocked up Dahab has changed a lot but it still has that special something that makes it so unique!
The people and places we are recommending below grew up in Dahab alongside Under Pressure Divers. Like us they love and appreciate what makes Sinai such an amazing place and run their business accordingly. Put simply, they care about what they do and where they live.
You will get only quality, friendly and professional service from them all. Here you will find the best the town has to offer in terms of accommodation, eating out, desert safaris, quad biking and windsurfing, yoga experiences and all the other good stuff that’s available for you here in our jewel of a town.
Yalla! Lets go!
Red Rock Apartments
✯✯✯✯✯
Red Rock Apartments, Assalah Beach, Dahab
Let’s start with something super stylish!
For an unforgettable time in the magical town of Dahab, rent one of these three beautifully furnished boutique apartments set around an enormous infinity pool, and with the Red Sea literally right on your doorstep! The apartments are tastefully designed and furnished to the highest standards. These spacious two bedroom properties are fully air-conditioned with open plan living rooms, American kitchens, dining areas, two bedrooms and marble clad bathrooms.
Each apartment overlooks the stunning freeform infinity pool that’s just a couple of steps from your private balcony. Breathtaking panoramic views of the Red Sea and surrounding mountains can be seen from the roof terrace, where you can enjoy an evening sundowner (or three!) and relax in the roof top jacuzzi to soothe your weary muscles at the end of an energetic day.
Our guests can be assured of privacy and peace which is hard to find in larger apartment complexes and hotels in Dahab.

DISCOVER YOUR DEPTHS
✯✯✯✯✯
“I’ve been in Dahab over 14 years, teaching spirituality in and out of the water to hundreds of people via classical practices such as yoga and meditation, including teacher training, and the less obvious but equally powerful path of freediving.
Discover Your Depths was established as both a school and teaching philosophy after I set four world records in depth by applying spiritual principles rather than classic athletic training, to explore my potential. I was the deepest woman in the world for over six years, with a dive to 104m on one breath. Since then I have dedicated myself to sharing what I learned and helping others explore their potential through greater understanding and awareness of themselves, their minds, and our place, as humans, in nature.
DYD is not a regular freediving school. While we ensure freedivers are safe and help them develop their skills and technique where necessary, we are far more interested in supporting the inner journey, and guiding people in a process of greater self-awareness, leading towards happiness and freedom. All coaching is supported by yoga, meditation and pranayama practice.
Cairo Taxi Driver
✯✯✯✯✯
We all need a good driver in Cairo at some point. You really want someone safe and reliable with a good knowledge of the place, and I mean you REALLY want! – and believe me they are hard to find! Probably the craziest city in the world, at least for drivers, means you want someone like our guy. Good prices, no rip offs, reliable and a safe driver – with excellent references available.
