Dahab is a small town on the Red Sea. We took a boat from Jordan to the first stop in Egypt, but this place has no Egyptian feeling at all. Instead, it was occupied by a large group of Europeans and Americans. When we arrived, we were very surprised. In less than two hours, we joined the mighty foreign army and stayed in this carefree town for more than 20 days. Due to the natural geographical conditions, coupled with the significant depreciation of the Egyptian currency in recent years, Dahab has become the cheapest place to learn diving in the world, 300 US dollars can get two diving AOW+OW Proof, 10 yuan can live in a bed, a delicious seafood dinner can only take more than 20 yuan to take invincible seascape, the price is cheap and let this magical town become a backpacker's paradise. After a long trip in the first two months, I arrived at Hab and gradually slowed down. I wake up to wake up naturally every day, about a few friends go to the beach to hang out, tired to find a seaside cafe, smoking a hookah facing the sea at night, staying in the mountains for a week to meet a few friends. Every time I had to leave, I saw the sparkling sea outside the window. My heart decided to stay a few more days. Dahab accidentally stole our time. Dahab is like a utopian community, accepting people from all over the world, without borders, without restrictions, with Russians as neighbors, diving with Koreans, smoking shisha with Australians, even The old Egyptian grandfather who sells soda in the store is also happy.
