Camel Hotel Dahab

Camel Hotel, which also operates as Camel Dive Club, is one of Dahab's most established and sociable accommodation options, located directly on the main Mashraba beachfront strip in Dahab, South Sinai, Egypt. The property has operated for over two decades and maintains a devoted following among divers, backpackers, and independent travellers who value its lively atmosphere, direct beach access, and competitive pricing. The hotel occupies a central position on the Dahab waterfront, placing guests within a short walk of the town's restaurant row, independent dive shops, and the El Mashraba neighbourhood's full range of services. The building is a multi-storey structure with rooms facing the sea, garden areas, and internal courtyard sections. The aesthetic is functional rather than decorative — the property's appeal lies primarily in its social environment and dive operation rather than its interior design. Rooms range from budget fan-cooled doubles to air-conditioned sea-view options, with en-suite bathrooms standard on most categories. The atmosphere is casual and communal, attracting a mixed crowd of solo travellers, groups of divers, and budget-conscious couples. The rooftop bar and terrace is the social centrepiece of the property, offering sweeping views over the Gulf of Aqaba and the Sinai mountain range. It functions as a gathering point for guests and visitors alike, with a happy-hour programme and regular social events that make it one of Dahab's most animated outdoor venues during the evening hours. The beach bar at ground level provides a more casual daytime option. The integrated dive operation, trading as Camel Dive Club, holds PADI five-star status and offers a full menu of courses from entry level through to divemaster. Daily guided dives to Dahab's major sites — including the Blue Hole, the Canyon, the Lighthouse Reef, and the Islands — depart from the property's beach. Equipment rental, freediving introductory sessions, and snorkelling trips are also available. Dining is anchored by a beachfront restaurant serving Egyptian food, international staples, and fresh seafood across all meals. A shisha lounge operates in the evenings for guests preferring a quieter atmosphere away from the rooftop. Reception staff can arrange desert excursions, Bedouin dinner experiences, and transfers to the Blue Hole or the coloured canyons of the interior.
