Where to buy beer and alcohol in Dahab, and how much does it cost?

In late September 2026 a guest at one resort described the alcohol included in the price as acceptable: other guests ordered cocktails and even wine. The beer, she said, is light and decent — Egyptian Stella and Sakara.

Café prices, according to a September 2026 message: beer and wine come to about $4 each. Menu prices are in Egyptian pounds, but a service charge and other fees are added to the bill, so the total ends up higher than the menu suggests.

On the quality of local alcohol: in late August 2026 a traveler rated local beer, wine, tequila and sparkling wine as fine, and cocktails as basic, without much flavor. In September 2026 a guest listed Egyptian-made rum, whisky, tequila, gin and vodka at her hotel bar, plus wine from large cartons at the 7th-floor bar, which she had not tried.

Imported alcohol may not be part of all-inclusive: in August 2026 a message about the Arabesque complex said adult guests without children could use all bars on the all-inclusive plan, drinks included, except imported alcohol. Terms depend on the specific hotel, so check at reception.

Asked whether canned or bottled beer can be bought, a guest replied in late July 2026 that at their hotel bar bottled Stella is free on all-inclusive: you say 'Stella' and get a glass and a bottle. Draft beer is available too.

Where to buy bottled beer: in July 2026 a traveler wrote that if you leave the hotel and turn right, there are 2–3 small shops where you can buy beer if you don't like the draft beer at the bar. Heineken and other brands cost about EGP 60.

On bars: in July 2026 a traveler praised the cocktails at the Jazz bar, noting that the alcohol itself is the same as everywhere in Egypt. Another participant wrote that the Al Qasr bar pours scotch, Italian and Spanish wines and Bavarian beer.
