In Dahab, due to the proximity of the city to the Red Sea, you will encounter a great variety of marine life. During your underwater adventures you can observe exotic fish species, beautiful coral reefs, manta rays and, if you are lucky, dolphins. On land, you can spot desert foxes, Nubian ibex and a variety of birds along the coast. Also be on the lookout for the unique reptiles of the desert. The fusion of marine and desert life is a big part of Dahab's appeal.
