Divers from all over the globe come to explore Dahab's famous dive sites such as the canyon and the famous Blue Hole. It is worth trying on some scuba gear and plopping in the water to discover a whole new world. There are approximately 17 dive sites around Dahab. Reached either from the diving center or by jeeps!! Sites suit all levels of divers, from beginners to advanced/technical. And at anytime you can decide to go for a diving safari out of Dahab limits either to north or south of it to (Ras Abu Galoum or Gabr El Bint ) which reached only by camels or by boat, and through the map you will find brief descriptions of some of the sites that you may encounter on a dive holiday with MIRAGE DIVERS
And if we talking Diving Safaris in Dahab, below you will find a short briefing of how it works either by Camels or by boat ..
1- Camel Diving Safaris
Here are our most popular Camel Diving safari programs – north and south.
The Camel Diving Safari can be done in one day, overnight, or for several days. You just need to decide how much fun you want to have.
It is a Diving trip for which we use Camels, as transport, to either Gabr el Bint or Ras abu Galoum National park, as it is only accessible by camel or boat.
It is a fantastic way to experience Sianis Diving and you get to explore untouched and remote dive spots.
Camel Diving Safari (1 Day incl. Camel rides, 2 Dives, Bedouin lunch))
Here is how we do it!.
Get a briefing of the whole program on the day before.
With your guide leave in the morning (6-7am) by jeeps to the Blue Hole (north of Dahab), meet the camels there (ask your guide if you need to polish up your camel riding skills)
Cruise on the camel up and down for about an hour and half passing by a series of fantastic land and sea scapes.
Get there, rest, grab some Bedouin tea from next to the fire, get your diving briefing and off you go for your first dive,
Come out of the water, more tea! Sunbath, relax, and get the Bedouin lunch cooked fresh for you, and then rest some more :) before you do your second dive.
After all is done, back to blue hole on the camel, afterwards by jeep again to Mirage.
It is nice, Ha?
In case of Camel Diving Safari to Gabr el Bint in the morning you will be going by jeep to the Caves (South of Dahab) instead of Blue hole (north of dahab), and it is also one and half hour trip with Bedouin lunch included.
Overnight Camel Diving Safari
Camel rides, 5 Dives (1 night Dive), Bedouin food, sleep overnight in a Bedouin hut under the bright stars.
And again here is how we do it!
With your guide leave in the morning (6-7am) by jeeps to the Blue Hole (north of Dahab), meet the camels there (ask your guide if you need to polish up your camel riding skills)
Cruise on the camel up and down for about an hour and half passing by a series of fantastic land and sea scapes.

Come out of the water, more tea! Sunbath, relax, and get the Bedouin lunch cooked fresh for you, and then rest some more before you do your second dive.
After the second dive, hang around, walk along the beach, do yoga or do whatever you like until the night dive time (recommended), once you are out of the water get ready for a fresh cooked Bedouin dinner and a fantastic quite night under the stars.
Once you finished your entertainment, get your mattress and blanket (sleeping bag) and have a good night :)
In the early morning you can do your first dive before or after breakfast, plan your 2 dives for the day with your guide, get your lunch and then on the camels back to Blue hole, in the jeep and back to Mirage.
In case of Camel Diving Safari to Gabr el Bint in the morning you will be going by jeep to the Caves (South of Dahab) instead of Blue hole (north of dahab), with all the above included as well.
