Egyptian Action- Neilson Launch the Ultimate Active Holiday Destination for 2006
NOVEMBER 10, 2005. Neilson are very excited to announce the launch of their new year-round Active centre on the Red Sea. Dahab, meaning 'Gold', on Egypt's Sinai coast was once nothing more than a Bedouin village with the only permanent building being a Mosque. In recent years it has become paradise for divers and windsurfers, with modern facilities and reliable winds. Neilson is planning to add dinghy sailing, mountain biking, tennis and kitesurfing to the mix to create the ultimate Active holiday in a unique location.
Egypt is a fascinating country to visit. Its culture and history, combined with the chance to visit world-renowned archaeological sites, offers an experience unlike any other Neilson destination. Dahab has the added bonus of offering year-round sunshine, warm water and strong and clean winds - all of which have made it a very popular destination for windsurfers flocking to the sunshine in the winter months.
The scuba diving of Dahab is the stuff of legend. Celebrated dive sites such as The Blue Hole and The Canyon are accessed from the shore. Jeeps or camels transport divers to beaches with shaded rest areas looking over the deep waters. The underwater landscape is spectacular, with a mass of colourful corals and thousands of species of fish including manta rays, turtles, coral fish and shark. All diving sites are reached from the shore, ensuring you see the beauty of the Sinai coastline.
Dinghy sailors will appreciate a range of craft in a breezy yet sheltered bay while mountain bikes enable exploration of the dramatic coastline, with off-road tracks leading to Dahab's celebrated snorkeling and diving locations.
Neilson are also excited to offer kitesurfing in Dahab. Qualified instructors make the most of this superb environment to offer the perfect introduction to this exhilarating new sport. Kitesurfing is the exciting new watersport combining elements of windsurfing, wakeboarding, powerkiting and surfing. Beginners can make their first foray into the sport under the guidance of our expert instructors, in Dahab's designated kitesurf area.
Among the range of other activities available, tennis players and waterskiers need not feel left out, with a Neilson tennis coach offering free group tuition and a local specialist providing waterski and wakeboard sessions.
Active families are well catered for with Neilson children's clubs available for those aged 2 - 12 years included in the holiday cost. Professional childcare for the under twos is also available at an additional cost.
The Coralia Club offers the perfect base. With its own beach of golden sand, the hotel offers excellent, flexible half board meals, a beautiful pool and plenty of space to relax.
