Wildly disappointed in my stay. The communication here was like pulling teeth. This goes for Rafiki and Rafiki Oasis. Breakfast and most activities are actually at Rafiki and not at this location, just fyi. From the start, they booked me at the wrong location and when I asked for a refund they said “oh that’s not possible, the money is already in the bank”, which is not how anything works. They have a WhatsApp group that has all information on activities, tours etc. But no one manages the group so it’s at capacity and it takes days (others said a week of asking) before getting access to all of the events. You could go to reception but it has limited hours and it’s impossible to find anyone. They give you numbers for bike rentals or other activities but again, no one responds to the WhatsApp messages or they forget to give you times or costs. Other advice like for the sunrise hike are so off point. I was told I need a “light windbreaker” for the top of Moses mountain and it was so freezing and had to spend more money renting blankets from the site. I needed to extend my stay and no one thought to inform me the price had doubled until after my credit card was charged. My friend had organized an airport pick up and was left waiting for 2 hours at 1am and another friend was never responded to regarding her airport pick up. When I had a bed bug concern, reception was closed and I had messaged the group WhatsApp and was told to “message instagram”, to which instagram says their account isn’t regularly checked. It wasn’t until I announced publicly that I needed assistance regarding a bed bug matter that someone was miraculously available to move me to a different room. Would not recommend this hostel.

Analyse de l'ambiance
Rafiki Oasis, c'est la branche de Dahab pour l'energie sociale d'auberge, avec une base plus douce de camp de base: un espace propre et renove, proche de la plage, des boutiques et de la place, avec un coin exterieur accueillant ou le groupe se rassemble naturellement. Ca marche bien pour rencontrer du monde sans etre enferme en mode party. Les activites quotidiennes font vraiment partie du dispositif, des randonnees au coucher du soleil et diners familiaux aux nuits dans la montagne, sorties au Blue Lagoon et virages centres sur Dahab. Il y a aussi acces a l'autre hostel Rafiki et a la pool house quand l'ambiance appelle plus de social, tandis qu'Oasis lui-meme peut rester plus relax. L'hostel a un espace coworking avec un internet correct, un menage quotidien, des lits confortables et des details de dortoir comme rideaux, lampes de lecture, casiers, et au moins un dortoir femmes de 4 lits avec salle de bain privee. Le petit-dejeuner est un vrai plus ici, avec un amour particulierement solide pour les matins de Chef Reham ou Remy. Un partenariat avec une compagnie de plongee locale ajoute un autre angle tres Dahab, surtout pour quiconque gravite autour de la scene freediving et plongee. L'energie du staff est aussi centrale: Rahma, Jana, Manar, Youssef, Hams, Perry et d'autres reviennent dans cette sensation chaleureuse et aidante.
Signaux à vérifier
- La disponibilite de la reception peut etre limitee, et obtenir de l'aide en dehors de courts horaires affiches peut etre frustrant.
- La communication autour du petit-dejeuner peut etre inegale, meme quand il est disponible.
- L'etablissement etait encore en travaux en mai 2025, donc certains details ont pu changer depuis.
