It has been open since 1998. It has been registered in all the major guidebooks and has consistently received positive reviews.
Dahab Hostel is centrally located in the heart of Downtown Cairo. It is just a 3-minute-walking distance to the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Sq., and within easy reach to the main train and bus stations.
Dahab Hostel has its own special charm. It is a collection of whitewashed huts on the rooftop attempting to recreate the feel of Sinai beach camp in an unremittingly urban Downtown Cairo.
Once you get inside, you will definitely sense the totally laid-back, chilled out and cozy atmosphere. The outdoor garden area is just superb for lounging around and catching up with other travelers in the evening. The breeze is refreshing and the vibe is incontestable.
It is an ideal place for artistic travellers as well. Enjoy the fantastic reggae music played, laying back in the sun, smoking Shisha 'Water pipe' on the rooftop at the Bedwin corner.
Sit back & relax, plan your itineraries & catch up with your family & friends by logging in onto our new optimized FREE WiFi Broadband Internet coverage for the entire hostel.
Our rooms are equipped with private facilities and A/C. We have single, double and private dorms available and there are 40 rooms in total.
