We have been to Dahab before but this is our favourite of the three places we have stayed. Booking was easy and Shams, the owner, was prompt and helpful in his emails and in arranging our transfers. The hotel is located at the quieter end of the boardwalk in Dahab, south of the bridge but only two minutes walk to... More

The hotel rooms, food, beverages and the freindly service from the staff were all unsurpassable. Shams is a legend. I can't recommend this establishment enough. Get up, get there, relax, enjoy

Breakfast is delicious in the restaurant and the service is amazing! All of the guys that work at Shams are friendly and fun. They... More

We had originally booked our stay in a different hotel, but upon arriving in Dahab, we liked the vibe of Sham's so much that we changed our reservation. The patio is perfect for relaxing, and the rooms all have some sort of ocean view, and are very clean and bright. Sham's himself was so welcoming, and the staff were always... More

I've been living in Egypt for a year and I really enjoy going to Dahab to spend the weekend and disconnect from Cairo, as it is a very quiet and relaxing place. After trying many hotels in Dahab, Shams is definitely my favorite, it is very clean, absolutely charming and the decoration of the rooms is done with very good... More

The hotel is perfect situated on the boulevard, in a quite zone, just outside the busy part. Our room was nice and clean, sometimes we were surprised by the creative creatures made of towels. The personnel is very friendly and always interested in what you are doing and helping to have a good holiday. Shams has a nice restaurant which... More

I just came back from Dahab. I stayed in shams hotel for 6 nights. It's always a pleasure to go there : food is good (especially breakfast...), rooms are clean and , of course, people are so kind. I always have lots of fun in this hotel. I will for sure return there each time i go to Dahab.

I was in Dahab in October 2011, staying at another hotel nearby and came to SHAMS Diving Center by chance, to dive with friends and my 3 children! The place looked really different; clean, tidy, neat and cosy and the staff were more than wonderful; friendly, professional, cooperative, flexible and so much doing their best to make us Happy.
