We are one of the few remaining traditional Dahab-style camps in the area, a beautiful Bedouin-owned retreat on the shores of the Red Sea.

At the Dolphin Camp we offer you a warm welcome, simple hospitality and a relaxed atmosphere leaving you free to enjoy a wonderful holiday in the Sinai. You can be as active or as lazy as you like – Dahab has something for everyone – from diving and watersports to desert trips. We are here to help you make the most of your holiday. Comments are closed.

You can decide yourself whether you want to spend your holiday relaxing on the white beach, diving, kite-surfing, snorkeling or making exciting trips to Gebel Musa, oases and canyons. All this is possible here in Mahash!

The sea is just wonderful here, the water is clear and you can snorkel for corals and colourful fishes. It is also good for small children, that can't swim yet. There is a magical laguna, where you will see the interaction from sun, moon, earth and water each day. You can sleep outside your husha under the starry sky if you like. Watch the sunrise above the mountains of Saudi Arabia from your bed. Get to know the bedouins and people from all over the world and in the night you will sit around the campfire and drink hot, sweet delicious bedouin tea. Special things to do and see here The special wind conditions in Mahash allow you to kite most of the year and enjoy this “air conditioning by nature” during the hot months. There are also several PADI diving centers around so you can have this experience even without your own equipment. There are many places worth seeing in Sinai like the oases, wadis and canyons and biblical sites like Gebel Musa, Wadi Feiran, Serabit el Khadem etc. Here three religions find their roots. There are also the natural protected areas such as Ras Abo Galloum where you will get a new impression from the colour 'blue'. Plan your trips individually with the bedouins, it's possible to go by camel, jeep or on foot.

The city Nuweiba is only 15 min away. Here you will find Internet cafes, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacy, hospital, police, laundry, banks and the port with a ferry that goes twice a day to Aqaba, Jordan.

Other activities at the camp include:

- Snorkeling - Diving - Kite-Surfing - Hiking - Desert trips to several oases - Historical excursions (Religion, Archaeology) eg. Mount Sinai, Serabit el Khadem - Camel riding - Cycling - Yoga, meditation

Egypt army opens camps, hospitals on Libya border
CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt’s army has set up two field hospitals and also camps to receive Egyptians on the border with Libya, the army said on a website on Monday, after increasingly bloody battles between Libyan security forces and protests. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was under increasing pressure to hang on to power on Monday when anti-government protests against his 41-year rule struck the capital Tripoli after days of violence in the east. Egypt’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, in a message on its Facebook page, said it would send planes to Libya to evacuate Egyptians wanting to return to Egypt once the situation stabilized. It said the field hospitals had been set up near the Salum border crossing
