Blue Hole

The Blue Hole: A Deep Blue Wonder in the Heart of Dahab Located a few kilometers north of Dahab, the Blue Hole is a natural wonder that has earned a legendary status among travelers worldwide. This 120-meter-deep submarine sinkhole is surrounded by a ring of stunning coral reefs, offering a gateway to an underwater world of unparalleled beauty. For Etro Tours guests, it represents the ultimate blend of thrill and natural serenity. A World-Class Diving and Snorkeling Hub: What makes the Blue Hole so unique is its immediate accessibility. Just a few steps from the shore, you are plunged into a deep indigo abyss. The "Bells" entrance—a narrow rock chimney nearby—allows divers to descend and drift along a breathtaking vertical coral wall before entering the Blue Hole itself, revealing a kaleidoscope of marine life. Key Highlights of the Blue Hole (Dahab): The Abyss: The sheer depth and clarity of the water provide a surreal experience, often described as floating in outer space. Vibrant Coral Gardens: The outer rim of the hole is teeming with hard and soft corals, home to hundreds of species of tropical fish. The Arch: A famous (and challenging) underwater tunnel that connects the hole to the open sea, reserved for highly advanced technical divers. Bedouin Hospitality: The shoreline is lined with cozy, traditional Bedouin-style camps and restaurants where you can relax on colorful floor cushions between your swims. Traveler Tips for Etro Tours Guests: Safety First: While the Blue Hole is a paradise, the currents can be strong outside the reef. Always snorkel or dive with one of Etro Tours' professional guides. Snorkeling the "Bells": We highly recommend starting your journey at the "Bells" and drifting towards the Blue Hole to see the most impressive coral formations. Eco-Friendly Travel: Help us preserve this natural treasure by not touching the corals and using reef-safe sunscreen. Combined Adventure: Ask about our "Blue Hole & Abu Galum" combo, where we take you from the hole to the secluded protectorate by boat or camel.
