The best experience in Dahab

Published on Dec, 2024

This was my second time staying at Rafiki Hostel, and once again, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The people here are incredible! Roba stands out as the coolest and best event organizer, Reham is an amazing chef, Abdulla is the laid-back, chill guy, and Gouda brings endless laughs with his great sense of humor. The events are fantastic, especially the Mountain Music event at St. Catherine—it’s truly unforgettable. The privacy is excellent, and the overall vibes are just perfect. I highly recommend staying here, and I’m already looking forward to my third visit!

Amazing

an amazing experience

Published on Oct, 2024

The trip was a fantastic experience, largely thanks to Roba and the Rafiki team. If you’re looking for a well-organized adventure with a personal touch, look no further than Rafiki Hostels!

In love sake of Rafiki

Published on Oct, 2024

First of all, this is an honest review. From the moment you step in, you feel like you’re home. The entire Rafiki team is incredible; each person you meet makes you want to stay a little longer and come back again someday just to see them. And the Sinai hike—it was one of the most breathtaking experiences I’ve had in a long time.
