Blue Lagoon, Dahab
البلو لاجون
A shallow lagoon north of Abu Galum, with white sandbars, turquoise water, and Bedouin camps where you can sleep under the stars.
The Blue Lagoon lies in the northern part of the Abu Galum Protected Area, a shallow bay enclosed by sandspits. The water shifts from pale green to deep blue, and on windy days it becomes a hideaway for kitesurfers. There is no road here. Most visitors reach it by 4x4 and on foot, by camel, or by boat. Simple Bedouin camps on the shore offer palm-thatched shelters and meals, and with no light pollution the night sky is spectacular. Suitable for a day trip or a one-night camp. Bring cash, drinking water and a headlamp.
