Eating in Dahab used to be an adventure, a risky culinary crawl through beachside cafes that all offered the same menu of grilled calamari, shish tawook, and fries, and as often as not sent you away with a nasty case of funny-tummy. Nowadays, things are a little different. There are literally dozens of civilized restaurants along the seaside promenade, and a slow evening stroll checking them out is one of the pleasures of Dahab.
El Dorado - Join the taste of the best homemade traditional Italian pasta or wood burning pizza with the breathtaking view of a hot orange sunset on the Red Sea at the Eldorado Italian managed restaurant, or just have a quick cappuccino and Italian espresso at the Bar to prepare for a beautiful holiday.
Lakhbatita/Three Fishes Restaurant - What makes Lakhbatita good is what it is not. In Dahab, known for neo-Bedouin cafés with Bob Marley soundtracks and high-pressure restaurant touts, Lakhbatita stands out as a nice, semi-formal sitdown eatery.

Sunday, May 24th, 2009There are a number of bank kiosks inside the entrance terminals for changing money and buying visas . These banks offer the same exchange rate as banks and offices in town, and it makes sense to change money here at the same time as you buy your visa.
The best way to get into town from the airport (a distance of around 15–20km/10–14 miles, depending on which neighborhood you’re going to) is by car. A large number of private companies offer their services from the airport.
There are also buses that run into town from the airport. Look for the Cairo Airport Shuttle Bus kiosk inside the terminal or their red-and white buses parked outside the terminal, and ask for your destination.
