Inspired by the powerful coming together of people in Egypt recently, the people of Dahab have combined forces to showcase local activities and events. The result: the first ever Dahab International Festival of Water Sports, Culture and Desert Adventure on the 14th – 21st May 2011.
Also intended to boost the local economy by reminding the world of the exciting things on offer in South Sinai. Events will include water sports, spectacular wind and kite surf competitions, diving and buoyancy challenges and free diving with experts. At night time things will liven up with bands and parties all over Dahab. Take this chance to discover the Bedouin culture in South Sinai, with events such as camel racing, a Bedouin party featuring local musicians, Bedouin bread making, desert walks, excursions, and safaris.
The alternative side of Dahab will offer free yoga classes and taster sessions of healing treatments including Reiki, massage, crystals, facial rejuvenation and much more. Dahab's creative side will be highlighted during the festival with street art, exhibitions, movie screenings, and a performance of its famous Children's Circus 'Circ Bonboni'.
Everybody involved is donating their time, energy and skills for free. So come and explore Dahab during this week of inspiring festive fun!
