Solo-friendly camps in Bir Suweir?

I’ve also heard about Aquarium Camp. Has anyone tried it? Would love to hear your experience, especially if you went solo!

Snorkeling is really important to me too, and it’s my first time in Bir Sweir. How is the marine life in that area?

Thanks!

Advice?

Hi guys! I’m planning a solo trip to Dahab very soon and, as someone who likes to plan ahead, I’d really appreciate your advice:

(For reference, I’m an egyptian girl if that makes any difference!)

  • I’d like to stay at a budget-friendly camp by the sea with good snorkeling/deeper water. Dahab is preferred, but Nuweiba is also an option.

  • What do you think of camping at Abu Galoum or Blue Lagoon? Any solo-female-friendly camps there?

  • Any tips for keeping transportation costs in Dahab low as I’ll be alone? Would renting a car be more cost-effective maybe? (I can drive)

  • Roughly how much is a taxi from Mamsha to Blue Hole and Mamsha to Asalah for example?

  • When swimming, I go quite far out and can’t see the shore. How do you safely keep your phone and valuables in that case, especially at places like lagoona?

  • Is it safe to bring 🍄 from Cairo? Can dogs there detect it? If not, I’d appreciate a contact for someone who sells it locally.

  • I’d also appreciate a contact for 🍃D. Is it okay to take some to Nuweiba, or are there checkpoints?

  • Any recommendations for non-touristy spots?

  • And finally, how crowded is Dahab in August?

Thank you so much for taking the time to help!
