The climate of Dahab (Egypt)
The seaside resort of Dahab is located on the Gulf of Aqaba which is
an hour´s drive away from Sharm El-Sheikh, in the Sinai desert. Dahab’s climate is somewhat milder than the climate in the rest of
Egypt. This is because of the sea wind which makes evenings pleasant.
Rainfall is negligible, ten rainy days per year on average. This
causes this region to be extremely dry. Far fewer tourists travel to
Dahab than to other seaside resorts. Most of the tourists that travel
here come to dive or snorkel.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
