«Accomodation» in Dahab Hostel for a total price of 48 euros for 2 nights and 2 people. (which means around 12 euros per person per night)

We enjoyed so much our staying at Dahab Hostel, as it is a little paradise in the middle of Cairo with a rooftop terrace which make you feel away of the traffic noise and hustle and bustle.

ADVICES
– Deal and bargain to get best prices. By comparing some stores you may have an idea of the highest/start price. Then try to get the third part of price from the average started price.
