Eldorado Lodge is situated on a private stretch of Dahab Beach. Kite surfing, windsurfing, and snorkeling is possible at the beach. Free sun-loungers and umbrellas are available.

All rooms have a simple furnishing and a colorful décor with private bathroom, shower and A/C.

After getting there a day early by mistake and initially complaining to the staff for not meeting me and having to sleep outside 😔 then realising it was my mistake they were very gracious and understanding. Very nice staff, excellent location on the beach, great food, amazing pizza, good WiFi. The room was very basic, airco not quite cool enough for my taste and there was a ceiling fan that wasn't working at the time but I still don't mind simple accommodation as long as it's clean.

People are amazing, doing their best to meet the highest expectations. Breakfast is tasty. Rooms are great. Plenty of hot water. Pool is clean. Yard is so fashionable decorated with all those tiny details that make you miss this place while you are still there 💙

    This hostel had such a good social calendar and a great community around it! Booking tours through them was very cheap and easy. The breakfast was the best hostel breakfast I've had in Egypt.

    The hostel is amazing and the people are nice and friendly. They will go an extra mile to make sure you are satisfied. You get to meet new people and make some friends. Kareem is responsible for the events he will tell you what's going on in Dahab and he organizes amazing events as well. Shout out for Gouda who makes the best fried eggs and he got me a blanket not to be cold at night. Highly recommend

    I lived in a private room and that was good for my solo traveling. Dahab is very safe so regardless the location (not center center) it was fine and I believe it benefited in costs. Air conditioning in the room. The hostel has a WhatsApp chat for those who stay in and you can join other guests for activity or organize yours.

    If you're looking for a cozy place to stay and still want to meet people, this is a great place to stay. It's fairly new (I think 1 month) and the owner is great. He's super helpful and plans activities for people at the hostel if they want. It's fairly small which makes it feel really cozy and family-like. You know whose staying at the hostel. I was working and found it had great WiFi to use. Beds were comfy. Great location. Free laundry. Garden outside.

    We throughly enjoyed our time at My Hostel. It’s in a great location, close to restaurants and the walking street. The rooms were clean and comfortable and just what you need if you are traveling on a budget. They have a roof top area where you can enjoy the view and relax outside. We also spent a day diving the canyon and blue hole with Bob. It was well organised and smooth. They catered to our needs and made our time in Dahab wonderful.
