Yoga by the Red Sea

                       

 

This is a yoga vacation with a difference with  lots to do and see, plenty of sunshine and only 5 hours from the UK.

If you like a holiday where you can be active and also feel deeply relaxed, our yoga holiday is your dream come true

 

Dahab itself has grown out of a seventies "hippy" resort and has managed to keep its bohemian atmosphere. It is excellent for snorkelling, diving, windsurfing and camel trekking, or for just "chilling out". Each year the holidays are led by a variety of well known teachers.

Group yoga holidays with visiting teachers run annually from October through to May. 
Diving is all year.

There will usually be two yoga classes per day (one day free) with meditation often included.

This is a perfect place to bring your non-yoga partner and friends, lots for them to do - and they receive a non-yoga discount!

 

 

There will also be the unique opportunity to:

  • snorkel and dive in one of the most stunning coral reefs in the world - 'try dives' are available from the on-site diving school

  • spend a night in the mountains on a yoga safari with the Bedouins

  • go horse back riding in the deserts and mountains on well cared for Arabian horses

  • climb Mount Sinai and visit St Catherine’s Monastery

  • experience dinner in the desert under the stars

Dahab itself is a unique tourist destination. Originally Dahab was an untouched palm fringed bay visited by Bedouins during the summer months for the fresh breeze and ample supply of fish. Gradually travellers and backpackers discovered the place and a few camps and beach side restaurants grew up. 

Over the past years Dahab has benefited from the diving community who come there to dive and it is now a small tourist resort which retains the original laid back atmosphere whilst offering the comfort and facilities modern tourists expect.

Accommodation

You will be staying at the Blue Beach Hotel, which is part Swiss owned and very comfortable. 

This hotel is situated in front of  the beach, along from the lighthouse. Sun loungers are placed on the beach for the hotel guest use and also by the swimming pool.

It is the perfect location, close to the village for shopping and restaurants and close to the more 'ethnic' cafes and restaurants at the other end of the beach.

The hotel has a large purpose built yoga room with space for 25 mats. It has views to the sea on one side and the mountains on the other. There is also an outside yoga space overlooking the sea.

Antonia our Massage Therapist (who the most amazing massages) is on site, plus we have both a bar and a restaurant.

All rooms are en-suite with air conditioning and a balcony or terrace.  Superior rooms are available for an extra £45 per room per week.  There is also a luxury two bedroom apartment overlooking the sea, please ask for details.

Non-yoga guests are also extremely welcome and have a £100 reduction on the listed yoga price.
