Set on the beautiful and dramatic shoreline of the Red Sea, Dahab offers the unique opportunity of both a beach holiday and the unforgettable experience of the desert.

THE DAILY PROGRAMME
Yoga classes start on the Monday morning  with the final class on the following Sunday morning before you depart. Mornings begin with meditation and pranayama (breathing techniques) for the early risers, followed by a yoga class between 8.30 - 10.30am. There will be an evening yoga class at 5.30pm. There will be one yoga free day per week when the group spends an evening in the desert (optional).

Please note that the programme will vary slightly depending on the teacher/s.

THE HOTEL
The Amanda is a simple, intimate and homely hotel set on the Red Sea. It offers two types of accommodation: double and twin hotel roms and huts with twin beds. Both the hotel rooms and the huts have en-suite shower and toilet.

The hotel serves wonderful fresh food indoors and outdoors on the beach. It has a cushioned chill-out area by the sea, perfect for lazy daytime reading and sunbathing or evening chats over food and drinks.

THINGS TO DO
Dahab offers an array of exciting things to do from snorkeling, scuba diving and windsurfing in the Red Sea to horse riding, camel riding, jeep driving in the desert and a visit to the local hammam.

Fantastic snorkeling and scuba-diving in The Red Sea.  Dahab has many dive centres offering introductory dives, 'padi' certification and dives for the more experienced. The tranquil Bedouin village of Ras Abu Gallum is a glorious short walk from the famous dive site at the Blue Hole.

Some feedback from previous Dahab holidays:

"We had never done Yoga before and didn’t know what to expect. We can only say it has been a phenomenal week. Sue and Kath (the yoga teachers) have created a wonderful space for beginners and accomplished yogi’s alike. Their loving kindness, thought, consideration and generosity has given me the most enjoyable learning experience. We have been moved so many times this week both emotionally and physically with this wonderful combination of yoga and discovering a very different part of the world. I highly recommend it for those wishing to start practicing yoga and those who already do…great food for the mind, body and soul."

"I had a really great holiday. As a ‘yogi beginner’ I felt very cherished and like
everyone else on the holiday, really appreciated the attention we received from the teacher. I came to realise that yoga is much more than the ‘Sun Salutation’…a practice which can affect your heart as well as your body. The location was perfect - with the Red Sea a step away from the hotel and an imposing wall of desert mountains behind us – you couldn’t find a better place to practice yoga or just chill out. The desert trip was a truly unique experience and quite awe inspiring."
