You step out of the air-conditioned transfer and feel the desert sun sharpen the edges of the limestone ridges. Wind-sculpted gullies lead you toward the Blue Hole’s drop-off—water so clear it dares you to dive in. After a short camel ride across scrubby flats, you’re on the black sand of Dahab’s famed shore, mask on, fins ready.
