Accomodation
The new villa was designed for families and friends holidays to satisfy people who love staying together in a private, quiet and homely mood, on the other hand it offers everyone an ease of access to all of the attractions of a tourist town located by the sea (beach, water sports, restaurants, bars, etc). It is furnished combining European standard/comfort, local style and decorated with marvellous Arabic art.
The accommodation on the ground floor contains three bedrooms: 1 - double bed 2- double bed + single bed 3 - twin bed. It has two bathrooms and 2 WC. Kitchen and a spacious open plan living patio-garden, with a comfortable space for dining and a corner with sofa and armchairs for relaxation, are equipped with everything required for a comfortable self-catering holiday. The villa is surrounded by a charming patio with 3 palms in the middle, from which a big bright entrance takes you straight to the garden. Thanks to this design, you are at the same time in an open space but still invisible to anyone from outside. Stairs from the patio are leading to two roof terraces connected by a wooden bridge. There is a wooden chalet- double bed on one terrace. On the other side of the bridge, a big pergola and a relaxing corner with deckchairs is an ideal spot for a glass of wine under the stars. Whenever you wish the pergola allows you also to sleep under a starry sky, which is amazing in Sinai, especially in falling stars season. The door from the patio leads you to a big Arabic style garden with 11 palms in the middle, Bedouin sittings and barbecue corner. It offers also additional private space for relaxing and dinning. Barbecue party under stars with palms around gives unforgettable memories. The gardens gate leads you directly to the front of The Red Sea, where you can have a swim at any time of the day. ADSL (broadband) and Wireless Internet connection allows you to use internet in all rooms, patio, terraces and the garden.

Place description
Villa Barbara is situated at the north edge of Dahab- el Assalah, on The Red Sea. It is a quiet residential area with many homes owned by foreigners. Walk through the garden takes you to the beach where The Red Sea coral-reef starts directly from there. After a ten minute walk along the beach you will get to the promenade with restaurants, shops, sun loungers and diving centers. A one minute walk from the villa will takes you to supermarkets where all basic products are available for a reasonable price, but my personal recommendation is the local market square (5-7 minutes away) for a range of fresh and tasty vegetables, fruits, fish and sea food. There you will also find a pharmacy, butchers, household goods, small local traders and even a wine shop. This place is very lively, especially in the evening, when local people, Bedouins and foreigners are shopping, eating and enjoying shisha in local faces cafeterias. It is a perfect place to learn the local culture and my favourite place for shopping and meetings while having tasty fish or prawns.
The whole range of Egyptian, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai and other cuisines are available in restaurants 7-20 minutes walk from the villa. You can also use taxis, which are very cheap and available 24/7.
The villa is located 50 min drive from Sharm -el - Sheikh Airport and 90 minutes drive from Taba. A taxi from Sharm or Taba airport to the villa can be arranged on request, for a reasonable price of 30-50 Euros.
Dahab and sourrodings
After long years of searching for a lovely, sunny place to live during European Cold Seasons, I found a perfect place which I can call my second home. And that is because of whole year of guaranteed sunshine, beautiful nature, stunning landscapes and its specific mood with friendly people. Dahab has bewitched me with its bohemian lifestyle, colourful sea and majestic Sinai Mountains. Together with the possibility of a wide range of sea sports such as snorkelling, diving, windsurfing, sailing etc, are making this area a perfect spot for all year holidays. Dahab is a cult place for divers, windsurfers and everyone who loves sea sports, as well as for fans of sun, desert safaris, mountain, canyon climbing, cycling, horse-riding and quad biking.
Sight seeing tours to famous historical spots such as Petra, Israel, Moses Mountain, St. Catherine Monastery and even Giza-Cairo or Luxor, can also be arranged from Dahab. The owner and manager will assist you to find the best option fitting your needs. We cooperate with best dessert guides, local travel agents and dive centers.
