Christina Residence, Dahab, Egypte

CHRISTINA RESIDENCE renovation completed in June08. Backpackers house of Christina Hotels - built and opened in 1996 - designed for budget travelers - Location: by village road ~90m from the CHRISTINA BEACH (which overlooks the sea). Pay budget rates & use all facilities of Christina BEACH!

The Christina Residence charms everyone who comes to stay with its warm and friendly family atmosphere and lovely sheltered garden. All facilities of Christina Beach can be used! Included free Wireless LAN network and the new swimming pool!

Christina Residence offers lower room prices than the Christina Beach Palace as it’s not situated directly on the beach. All rooms are on the first floor and most have a balcony. The spacious rooms derive their airy feel from the authentic Egyptian domed ceilings with skylight. The rooms are simply but comfortably furnished and come with fan and en-suite bathroom. If you require your room to be with air-conditioning, please contact the hotel! A 5.00 Euro surcharge per room / night will apply.

Breakfast is included in the price of the room, and as Christina Residence and Christina Beach are managed jointly, this is served for all guests in the pergola restaurant with its gorgeous view across the glittery Red Sea to the ancient mountains of Saudi Arabia.

Guests of Christina Residence can use all facilities of Christina Beach free of charge!

Private coral beach, safe deposit boxes & ADSL-Internet service

Looking forward to welcoming in sunny Dahab!

For independent travelers, booking a ‘flight only’ to Sharm el Sheikh is the easiest option. Take a taxi to Dahab or ask us to have you picked up. We are happy to send you a driver by request at any time, day or night. He will expect you at the exit of the airport building, carrying a sign with your name. Please let us know of any flight delays as early as possible! The 90km drive northwards to Dahab takes one hour and gives you your first glimpse of the ochre and red-tinged Sinai desert as you are chauffeured past the occasional camel herd and Beduin camp… Taxi pick-up service to be pre-paid.

If arriving in Cairo, catch one of the public transport coaches for the 650km/7, 5-hour trip to Dahab. Departure from the “East Delta Bus Terminal” also called the “Abasseya Bus Station”. The cost of a bus ticket from Cairo to Dahab is approximately £ 7 Sterling. A faster but also more expensive way to get to Dahab is by inland flight with Egypt Air to Sharm el Sheikh, where we’ll be happy to collect you (see above). Flight tickets can be booked at any Egypt Air agent in Cairo or online.

Should you arrive by ferry from Hurghada, we can just as easily have you picked up from the Sharm el Sheikh’s ferry port. Alternatively you can take a taxi.

Dahab is a two-hour taxi or bus ride from Eilat or Taba on the Israeli/Egyptian border.
