Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Absolutely Fabulous!
This place far exceeded our expectations. We’ve been to Dahab quite a few times and this is by far my favourite place to stay. Traveling with a group of 5: my wife and me and our 2 boys (7 and 5) and my mother we all had enough space and each had a favourite spot in the house! Mine was the roof, what a stunning view over Dahab, the Gulf of Aqaba on one side and the Sinai mountains on the other side. The house is very clean, gorgeous and very well equipped. The bedrooms are big and the beds are a joy to sleep on. Our master bedroom had a separate bathroom with toilet and shower. The giant main bathroom a big bath. The whole house breathes attention to detail and beautiful ornaments. The only room we never used is the TV room because being outside in the garden and the nice seating area just outside the dining room is such a joy. The garden is, like everything else, very well maintained. Sophie, the owner, was in England at the time of our visit. But she kept in contact before, during and after our stay to make sure we had a great time. We were also well taken care of by Rose, who manages the house when the owner is not in Dahab. Every morning I walked to Ralph’s Bakery for fresh bread, always taking a small detour by the beach. Just after sunrise is the most magical moment to stroll along the beach. Mark

Beautiful villa and garden and good location
My husband and i stayed in the villa during a whole month. The villa is very spacious, but there is little sun in winter. The roof terrace would have been ideal there are great views, but was very dirty. The villa is very well equipped, beds and bedding perfect. We had very little privacy as the person who looks after the house and workmen came unannounced at every hour of the day in the house. We only got wifi and television after 3 weeks, just the last week.

Great stay in Dahab
Residence Arabesque is a great choice for anyone who's looking to stay somewhere clean, spacious and central. The apartment was well equipped with everything from a good bathroom to a garden patio and a full kitchen. It was minutes away from 'downtown' where all the restaurants cafes and tourist centers are. Sophie was very helpful, coordinating everything with me from the second I booked to my arrival. Their general manager Rose was also incredibly helpful and outlined everything there was to do, answering all our questions and helping us arrange any specific activity we wanted. All in all, a very professional crew and a great accommodation.

值得推荐的地方!
我们在这里Sophie家住了两周,感觉就像自己家一样方便舒适。 我们是通过邮件沟通,很顺畅。Sophie安排了所有事,Rose在Dahab迎接我们,她是个非常活泼开朗快乐的人,并且在我们入住期间,随时为我们提供帮助。 。 非常感谢Sophie,你们会了解她真是太贴心了!她还专门整理了厚厚一本指南,几乎有在Dahab生活需要的所有信息。 最后,关于这个房子,可以从图片到,真的非常棒,我喜欢那个打理的很好的后花园。 我觉得这里值得推荐给大家。

Best Dahab Decision you can make
The Villa is ridiculously nice, it's large and at the same time cozy. We were a group of friends, it accommodated everyone's need for privacy and had all the shared spaces where we could hang out. It has access to a very nice garden where you can find some turtles roaming around. It is 3 minutes away from the main walkway and all shops you could need for your stay. It was a fantastic vacation thanks to Arabesque

Great Place! Perfect for families or couples
For a third consecutive year we decided to stay at Residence Arabesque. We stayed 4 weeks and we felt like home. Sophie (the owner) takes perfect care of the villa and excel in getting all details sorted up to perfection.

Beautiful big house
Красивый большой дом. Три спальни на втором этаже, два санузла на втором этаже - в одном имеется ванна, что для Дахаба не обычно. На первом этаже гостинная с телевизором, санузел и большая кухня. Отличный дом для отдыха большой семьей или компанией. До Лайтхауса 7 минут пешком.
