Quick Travel Answer

What is the Blue Lagoon in Dahab best known for?

The Blue Lagoon is an off-grid coastal escape in the Ras Abu Galum protected landscape, known for exceptionally clear shallow water, consistent wind, simple Bedouin camps and a dramatic meeting point between the Gulf of Aqaba and Sinai mountains.

Wind-sport travelers come for flat-water kitesurfing, while non-riders use the lagoon as a base for swimming, quiet beach time, coastal hiking, stargazing and snorkeling in the surrounding Ras Abu Galum reef areas.
