For the next three days we relax in Dahab, a charming and unspoilt
seaside town that sits on the Red Sea's Gulf of Aqaba. Formerly an oasis
and meeting point for local Bedouins, today the palm trees cast shade
over a host of small beachfront restaurants and shops that look out over
the azure sea. We spend four full days here; as well as twice daily yoga
there's an opportunity to try scuba diving, holistic therapies,
excursions into the desert or just to snorkel, shop, and relax on the
beach.
