• 1Awful

  Terrible. The driver had a bad attitude, Rafiki were useless, our guide lost half the people so the rest of us had to wait for ages and missed going to the library. A proper Sg1t Show

• 1Unreliable and Poorly Managed

  We booked a Mt. Sinai hike through Rafiki Hostels and received confirmation from their team. This is an overnight hike that begins around 10:00 PM, meaning you’re already mentally and physically preparing for a challenging, sleep-deprived night. When we arrived at the meeting point, we were shocked to learn that Rafiki had no record of our booking. We stood around from 10:00 PM until 12:00 AM, exhausted and confused, only to be crammed into a small uncomfortable car with no proper arrangements for our group of six. There was no apology, no explanation, and certainly no refund. It was a disorganised mess that turned what should have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience into a stressful ordeal. Given the nature of this hike — overnight, physically demanding, and requiring good preparation — the lack of professionalism was unacceptable. I strongly urge other travelers to avoid booking with Rafiki Hostels.

• 5Great experience

  I was staying at Rafiki Hostel and took part in some activities they organised, which was amazing. They organized everything, picked the group up, and dropped us off. They organize not only day trips but also general social events! Highly recommended for solo travelers.

  I did the Saint Catherine Hiking with Rafiki in Dahab, it was a great hiking, beautiful, with good company, beautiful landscapes. If you go to Dahab it's one of the best things to do.

About Dahab

Dahab is a laid-back Red Sea town on the east coast of the Sinai, set between warm turquoise water and the dry mountains of the peninsula.

Dahab stretches along the Gulf of Aqaba on the east coast of the Sinai Peninsula, a former Bedouin fishing village with a seafront promenade of cafés and dive shops. The coral reefs drop away close to shore, and the water is warm and clear. The mountains of Sinai rise behind the town, while the mountains of Saudi Arabia are visible across the gulf on a clear day.
