We have classed shopping as an activity, as it is seen as a bit of a social event in Egypt. It is not something that should be undertaken when you are in a hurry. You require lots of time and patience, money and a good sense of humour to enjoy the art of shopping.

There are some great shops and things to buy including excellent jewelry of gold, silver or fashioned beads and stones. Sheesha pipes and galebayias, egyptian and bedouin crafts. We will be expanding this section of our web site soon, highlighting some of Dahab's best things to buy and our favorite shops.
