About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- lina_li1980 contributionsVery special placeOnce in your life you must climb this mountain. Its not possible to describe. Need to feel that spscial atmosphere. Hike at night is not easy, but worth milion times. When you see sunrise on the top of the mountain, it is just breath and mind taking. Do not forget warm clothes.Written 19 May 2024
- Wander643794838900 contributionsNever againvery bad...driver was looking at his telephone all the time while driving.....the guide did'nt say a word...no English nothing!!!! The bedoeïenen were very kind and polite and try to tell us something. Happily our travel companion were very nice!!! But never, never again for us! My advice, dont go with them!!!!

Tours Package Egypt cannot be trusted: after you already paid VIATORTRIPADVISOR their driver asks you to pay again 30 €. VIATORTRIPADVISOR paid me back because Tours Package Egypt refused to pay me back!Written 29 November 2023
- GreetSchilde0 contributionsImpressive !It was not the first time I went there and it is very beautiful. I would have loved to spend more time on this spot. Watch out when you paid VIATORTRIPADVOSOR! Because the driver of Tours Package Egypt cheated on me for an extra 30 €. VIATORTRIPADVISOR paid me back because Tours Package refused to pay me back.Written 29 November 2023

- aleksejst20150 contributionsFantastic fire show!The show was fantastic: belly dance, rotating and especially the fire one! Transportation felt a bit scary - without seatbelts and bunks instead of seats The dinner itself was tasty and we appreciated it having been tailored for our vegetarian diet!Written 8 March 2023
- melaniekO7708CM0 contributionsA full packed day to rememberEight colleagues with just one day to explore the region, I asked Dahab Tours if they could squeeze in the desert, snorkeling, Dahab city and Beduoin dinner, and they did! So we didn't really do one particular tour but a slight combo of a few. Dahab Tours was incredibly accommodating to our wishes. We had a fantastic time. Everything was well organised. Although we never really met anyone from the tour company as we skipped through the activities, I was in what's app contact throughout the day. My colleagues said it was the best day during their time here, and I want to pass that thanks to Dahab Tours. The snorkeling in the boat was a highlight as we had the entire boat to ourselves and felt very spoilt. Driving across the desert in a 4WD with local music blasting out of subwoofers was quite surreal, having a beer at a Dahab waterside Restaurant a good chill out, before hanging out on cushions in the desert watching belly dancing and a guy spin in a skirt for at least 5 min (crazy and amazing, I tried it and feel over in 15 seconds). Thanks for day!Written 26 December 2022
- HirenS100 contributionsUnforgettable trip with my best friends with support of Dahab Safari. All trips were right on time.We enjoyed Quad biking for 4 hours in the Desert. Ras Mhd reserves was also mind fleshing trip with scuba diving and snorkeling. Blue hole/blue lagoon/Ras gulam was also good experience with Snorkeling and lunch. All the transfer booked were comfortable to us.Written 10 December 2022
- D4442DOmariae0 contributionsGoodThe blue hole was amazing with nice lunch. The quad ride was very fun, we enjoyed. The camel could be longer, was only 5 min, we expected at least 20-30min. People were very nice and polite, good experience.Written 6 December 2022

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.

The Sunrise tour was very disappointing and Not what we expected. It was also dangerous in some Situations. We had further the feeling that we are alone on the trip. The driver didnt inform us about the Next steps and what are we doing for example he forgot to bring us To our Hotel. He noticed That after 1 hour.
There was also a very Bad Communication between the Guide and the group. We didnt get necessary advice for the Tour. There was a Long distance between the leader and the last member of the group. He jumped forward and didn’t take Care of the last ones. It was also really dangerous because of the strong wind. The leader doesnt noticed.
For that reasons we can’t recommend this tour for other people.

Dear Valuable Guest,
You have booked the tour with our company but you have changed the to next day and you did the with not our group or our company on this day and you was with other company but we were our mistake.
We understand that you were not happy with what happened and you were already done ras Mohamed tour with our company and you were said that you liked and happy.
So we have seen you write about a bad experience with us on TripAdvisor.
Also, you have done the Ras Mohamed tour and you have enjoyed the tour and you confirmed that so we ask as you write about a bad experience you should write about a good experience.

Was told to be in the lobby at 10pm, was finally picked up at 11 and driver didn’t even know my name. Our guide, Musa, was more of an escort than a guide. He didn’t share anything about history about the mountain and quit before the monastery tour and told us to just go in. Wouldn’t book with this company again

The monastery was open but not the churches due to covid. We were allowed to enter to see the biblical burning bush. The well were moses met his wife. It was such a beautiful spot. The hike up the mountain took 2 hours. It is not an easy hike and luckily there were a few Bedouin huts open for snacks and drink. The hike is tough as you get close to the top. It is well worth the trip

The Mt Sinai and St Catherine tour was well worth money. Our guide had a wealth of knowledge and could speak many languages. We were handed to the Bedioun guide to climb the mountain with took just over 3.5hrs to get to the top. Again our guide was full of knowledge and could speak many languages. The sunrise was spectacular and is a once in a lifetime thing to do. It is a must for any one visiting Dahab. We got to tour the St Catherine Monastery in the morning and it was amazing to see the history behind it.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

The trip was perfectly organised. We got all the necessary details for the tour beforehand at the agency. All our other (partly unrelated) questions were answered with patience and always in a friendly manner. The price was fair and everyone involved was super friendly and professional. Definitely recommended.
