Where to eat in Dahab, and how does the food scene compare to Sharm El Sheikh?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 27 days ago

TL;DR

Dahab has a waterfront promenade with lots of good cafes, and many hotels offer free transfers into town for lunch/dinner — unlike Sharm El Sheikh, where Old Town and Naama Bay have very limited dining options.

What the community said

In Sharm's Naama Bay area, food options are basically limited to salads and coffee, with a real risk of getting food poisoning — very few decent places to eat.

In Sharm's Old Town, there's really just one decent restaurant up on the hill (name not specified) — almost nothing else to eat nearby.

All-inclusive hotel food gets old fast — after 2-3 days you want variety, and Dahab makes this easier since hotels there offer decent dinner options beyond the buffet.

Dahab has a waterfront promenade with plenty of good cafes, and some hotels run a free shuttle into town for lunch or dinner — convenient and a nice break from eating only at the hotel.
