Yoga & Outdoor activities

Red Sea

April 26th – May 4th 2014, Dahab, Egypt

Experience Yoga in Dahab, one of the most spiritual and exciting places on the Red Sea.

Due to its freedom, simplicity and unique nature, a combination of desert, mountains and its colourful and lively coral reef, Dahab has become famous among people practicing yoga, all kinds of water sports and various other outdoor activities.

If you are looking for the perfect balance of self-discovery through yoga on and off the mat, we can offer you the perfectly balanced week to experience just that. Our two internationally recognised and professional yoga teachers will offer you the opportunity to begin and end each day with your breath, mind and body. Every morning and evening, you can enjoy a therapeutically based yoga class to bring you new awareness, alignment, openness, balance, relief, and a wonderful sense of calmness. Your spiritual journey continues throughout the day with the chance to really connect to nature, and experience the full potential of your physical body. Supported by the element of water itself, the warm seas of Dahab, will enable you to continue this harmonious flow offering an incredible range of sports for you to enjoy. We will also feed the wisdom of the mind with some fabulous trips to witness some of the most spiritual places on Earth, and delight in the energy of Mount Sinai at sunrise.

Yoga classes are designed for all levels of practitioners, from beginner to advanced, and will be held in English and/or German. In combination to daily yoga and meditation sessions, four selected trips will give you an insight into the nature and culture of the Sinai. In addition, we offer a variety of outdoor activities that you can tryout or further develop your existing skills.

Dahab "gold" in Arabic language, is a small town situated on the South East coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Formerly a Bedouin fishing village, located approximately 80 km North East of Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab is considered to be one of the Sinai's most treasured diving and snorkeling destinations and is famous for its windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Dahab is known as the heart of Yoga in Egypt. Yoga found its natural home in Dahab when, not long ago, people from the hippie-movement travelled there looking for an alternative lifestyle. Today there are more and more yoga courses and classes offered as travellers and locals seek the natural spirituality and beauty that this wonderful area offers. Its central location, with the nearby Blue Hole and Canyon, both internationally famous freedive and scubadive spots, allows you to also enjoy land based activities such as camel, horse, jeep and quad bike trips. Mount Sinai is a two hours drive, with Saint Catherine's Monastery being a popular tourist destination.

Historically, most visitors to Dahab have been backpackers travelling independently and staying in hostels or guesthouses. In recent years, Dahab has facilitated the arrival of a wider range of tourists, many of whom visit this quieter, less well-known area, specifically to partake in yoga, kitesurfing, windsurfing and diving or just to simply unwind and soak up the spiritual energy of nature found here.

Don’t miss your chance to get to know Dahab, the small authentic town on the Red Sea.

Political Situation:

Egypt has been through a series of political conflicts and revolutions in the past couple years. Conflicts were mainly concentrated on Cairo, Alexandria and the middle and upper Sinai. The touristic area in the South Sinai, such as Sharm el Sheikh and Dahab were not involved in these conflicts.
