- crossing to the island with Coca-Cola feluca that operates as the main conection to the island for pedestrians.
- Dahab means Golden - its also called Agricultural island and its indeed filled with agricultural fields, lots of domestic animals and shanty houses. The main transportation of the island are donkeys. There is distribution of water supply by chanals for agricultural and domestic use. Electricity seems to be scarce but lots of animal faecal is dried all over and used as a main fuel for warming water and cooking. People produce food enough to cover their needs and also sell outside on the main land. If there is a big catastrophy in the city shortage of food Dahab people could survive.
- there is a bridge passing across the island without any conection to the island - the only thing is that it makes a good shade for people and animals. people are garherin there to do washing, occasionaly go swimming...
- children we meet on the street are very respectful and are not annoying strangers as lots of them in the city. There is development plans for all the island where all the houses are going to be knocked down and the new luxury area of Cairo is going to be built
