Dahab holds festival

The inaugural Dahab International Festival of Water Sports, Culture and Desert Adventure was mounted last year to support tourism at a time when potential visitors were re-evaluating their plans.

Disturbances in major cities had seen the country’s President Mubarak removed from power.

The diving community’s contribution to the festival, which runs from 14-20 April, will include an underwater photographic competition, a buoyancy challenge and an underwater treasure hunt.

Cultural activities will include traditional Bedouin activity displays, yoga and healing arts. Music will be provided by local and international bands.
