Your Local Guide In Ras Abu Galum

Ras Abu Galum is a protected area north of the Blue Hole, accessible only by camel, boat, or on foot. This remote stretch of Sinai coastline is one of the most pristine marine environments in the Red Sea, with spectacular coral reefs, crystal-clear water, and dramatic desert mountain backdrops. A small Bedouin community lives in the reserve, offering traditional hospitality. The trek from the Blue Hole to Ras Abu Galum (about 6 km along the coast) is one of Dahab's most iconic experiences, combining desert hiking with world-class snorkeling.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about visiting Ras Abu Galum

The best time to visit Ras Abu Galum is during the cooler months from October to April, when temperatures are pleasant for sightseeing and outdoor activities. The weather is ideal for exploring attractions and participating in tours.

We recommend spending at least 3-5 days to experience the main attractions comfortably. However, a week or more allows for a more relaxed pace and exploration of hidden gems, local neighborhoods, and day trips to nearby areas.

Yes, Ras Abu Galum is generally safe for tourists. As with any destination, exercise normal precautions like being aware of your surroundings, keeping valuables secure, and following local guidance. Our tours prioritize your safety with professional guides.

Pack comfortable walking shoes, light breathable clothing for daytime, a light jacket for evenings or air-conditioned spaces, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and any necessary medications. Don't forget your camera to capture the amazing sights!

While not mandatory, having a local guide significantly enhances your experience. Guides provide insider knowledge, historical context, help navigate crowds efficiently, and ensure you don't miss important details about the attractions.

For religious sites and certain attractions, modest clothing is required (covering shoulders and knees). It's best to carry a light scarf or shawl. Most restaurants and hotels have no specific dress code, but smart casual is appreciated.

While we recommend booking in advance for popular tours, many experiences can be booked last minute subject to availability. However, skip-the-line tours and special experiences often sell out, so early booking is advisable.

Most tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Some special events may have different policies. Please check the specific tour details for exact cancellation terms.

It varies by tour. Some tours include meals or snacks, while others don't. Each tour description clearly states what's included. Food tours naturally include multiple tastings as part of the experience.

All tour confirmations include detailed meeting point information with maps and directions. Most meeting points are at central, easy-to-reach locations with good public transport access. Our team is available 24/7 if you need assistance.
