If the internet is interrupted or you cannot connect please follow these step:
1. Try another network – Red C 7 is often the best and can be accessed by the front seating area.
2. Try another device.
3. Turn off the “wifi” in your device setting, wait 30 seconds and try reconnecting
4. In your device settings, “forget the network” and try to reconnect.
5. Unplug the power cable from the router in your accommodation, wait 1 minute and plug it back in. Please don’t repeat this step more than once every three days.
If the connection has not returned after one hour, please let us know via WhatsApp or ask Rio. We will endeavour to get our technician round.
We thank you for your understanding that the internet in Dahab is often unstable and/or slow.
All of our accommodation is NON-SMOKING, please smoke outside & use the ashtrays provided. The Management will apply a fine of 100 Euro if you smoke inside your accommodation.

DO NOT put loo paper in the toilet, please use the bins provided. Dahab’s infrastructure can’t handle it!
Use the provided lighter to light the burners and oven. This video will give you a general idea of use.

Please consider other guests and keep all noise to a minimum after 21:30.
Please ask permission before inviting more than two outside guests.
Please put full rubbish bags in the metal bin across the road that runs along the left-hand side of the complex, this avoids attracting stray cats. Extra bin bags can be found in the Extra Supplies Cupboard.
There is a shared washing machine in the cupboard under the stairs to the left-hand apartment. We advise you to wash towels separate from your clothes. There is a washing line behind the left-hand villa at the back of the compound. Cleaning Equipment & Extra Supplies are in the marked cupboard opposite the washing machine.
Extra Cleaning, fresh towels and sheets are chargeable and MUST be organised by Dom or Stephen NOT Rio.
Please give us a 24-hour notice if you want an additional clean: the cost is €20 Studio/€25 Apartment / €35 Villa. Fresh towels are €5 per bedroom. The management reserves the right to charge and extra cleaning fee if your accommodation is in an unacceptable state at check-out.
Don’t drink the tap water. We’ve supplied you with complimentary water to start you off. The local shopping area is in El Asshala, a few mins drive away. Please ask us for assistance & advice if you need it. We can supply you with a water dispenser refill for €7. (For apartments and villas).
Here’s a google map with our favourite shops in Asshala and some restaurant suggestions.

The best way to get around is by TAXI (local jeeps and pick-ups) which can be hailed outside Red C 20-30 EGP for “Assalah” (shopping) / 30-40 EGP for “Lighthouse” (restaurants & Bars). They can be used for shopping trips and visits to Masbat Bay. Have the correct change.
Rio can also help with taxis and bikes. BIKES are fun during cool times of year, but pricey for short period and when compared to taxis.
A google map to help you if you are missing anything: shops nearby sell toiletries, food and other items to kit out your home in Dahab. There’s also a yummy bakery!
If there is a problem with your accommodation at check-in or at any point, we will do our best to remedy it as soon as possible. Please contact Rio, the maintenance manager, Phone or WhatsApp or speak to a member of his family during working hours 09:00 – 17:00 Monday – Saturday (emergencies only after 10:00 pm) so we can resolve any issues promptly.
If you need further assistance, please contact Stephen or Dom via WhatsApp.
Rio is happy to help with anything, but if you ask him for a specific favour we would expect that Rio is tipped for extra services.
