Video calls actually work here

A Bedouin boutique hotel, thirty seconds to the sea.

Beit Tolba Boutique Hotel in Assalah, Dahab — villas and rooms around a walled pool courtyard, with the mountains behind. Come stay with the family that has lived on this shore for generations.

The Internet Proof

Video calls actually work here.

Egyptian mobile networks block WhatsApp, FaceTime and Zoom voice & video nationwide — fixed lines don't. We run a dedicated fixed line just for calls, on top of a multi-connection network that fails over on its own. These are the speeds we measure on our own line.

Both lines active · automatic failover armed. Fine for HD video calls and screen-share.

Two independent lines

A fibre line and a backup carrier. If one drops, the network moves to the other on its own.

A fixed line kept for calls

Reserved bandwidth so your stand-up or your call home stays clear when the house is full.

These are speeds measured on our own line, not a marketing promise. We're wiring the office monitor to report here live — and when a line is down it will say so. We'd rather be honest than oversell.
Where you'll sleep

Rooms, chalets & a duplex for the season.

Individually styled rooms, chalets and a duplex, all set around the pool and on our own fixed-line Wi-Fi.

Take the whole house

The Bedouin villa — Shams.

Whole-house stays for families and groups — full kitchen, private majlis, and the whole place to yourselves. Perfect for a full buyout or a big winter booking.

Stay the season

Made for a winter of remote work.

From November the desert cools and the town fills with people working from laptops. Take a room by the month — a proper desk, the fixed line for your calls, laundry sorted, and a long table on Thursdays where the whole house eats together.

Out with the family

Trips run by the family who owns the hotel.

Not resold through an agent. The same family that hands you your key takes you to the Blue Hole, lights the fire in the wadi, and reads the sky for the sunrise hike.

Our home in Assalah

One courtyard.
One family.
Your whole group.

Beit Tolba Boutique Hotel is our home — the villas and rooms our family built around a pool in Assalah, the old Bedouin quarter of Dahab. The mountains stand behind the house; the sea is a short walk through town.

For a full buyout we hand over everything. Your group sleeps around one courtyard, eats what the family cooks, and gathers on the roof as the light goes — no strangers at the pool, no other guests to work around. Yoga and freediving retreats welcome.
