You step off the minivan and the Red Sea opens: a rim of low cliffs, sun-scratched sand, and water the color of polished glass. In Dahab the sea invites you first — a quick swap into a mask and fins and you’re floating over coral gardens where plates and fingers of reef hold small, bright fish. Later, camels kneel and rise like old ships, carrying you along the shoreline where the wind sketches patterns in sand and the town’s low stone buildings keep the heat at bay.
