Gabila Blue Lagoon

Everything. The food, the atmosphere , the staff, the view, the water, the corals, the weather, the drinks, the kitesurfing. Perfect.

Nothing.

It’s in an amazing location, the most beautiful location at the blue lagoon, the sea is amazing and different colors. It’s the best spot.

The prices are not in Egyptian and it is a little expensive.

My second visit! I love everything about Gabila, the beautiful blue lagoon, the staff, the food, the founder, people I meet there, the dogs, the whole experience is exceptional 💕 Highly highly recommended 🫶

C’est simple : vous ne trouverez jamais un cadre semblable ailleurs dans le monde. Au bord d’un lagon bleu turquoise, il n’y a rien d’autre à faire que de profiter et de contempler le paysage à longueur de journée. Et pour les amateurs de kitesurf, c’est également un véritable spot ! Tout le personnel est adorable. Un grand merci à Adri, qui a grandement facilité notre séjour et s’est montré incroyablement serviable pour chacune de nos demandes. L’ambiance est décontractée, conviviale, et la nourriture est délicieuse ! Nous avons passé 4 nuits, ce qui était parfait pour avoir le temps de profiter pleinement du camp, de la mer, du kitesurf ainsi que des superbes spots de snorkeling à proximité. Les équipes sont aux petits soins et font tout pour rendre le séjour le plus simple possible, notamment dès l’arrivée avec l’organisation des taxis, du bateau, etc. Nous recommandons sans hésiter et reviendrons avec grand plaisir ! <3 Mira & Mathias

Il fait assez chaud dans les cabanes, mais nous avons séjournes durant l’été !

Tout était parfait ! L’endroit est calme, la plage est magnifique J’ai vraiment apprécié mon séjour.

Ce que je n’ai pas aimé dans l’établissement : Il manque un peu d’ambiance dans l’établissement. Les prix pour manger sont également assez élevés, avec peu de choix au niveau des repas. Pour aller à l’île, il faut payer environ 15 € par personne pour l’aller, puis encore 15 € pour le retour, ce qui revient assez cher pour deux personnes. On nous a également indiqué qu’il n’y avait qu’un seul établissement où manger, alors qu’il est possible de trouver d’autres restaurants moins chers à proximité, à condition d’avoir du liquide sur soi. Enfin, la présence de certains animaux et surtout les enfants qui demandent régulièrement de l’argent peuvent être assez gênants à la longue. Cela a un peu diminué notre confort pendant le séjour.

Felt like I was in a dream

The boat ride to arrive… ocean was rough

Ho mangiato bene sia a colazione che pranzo e cena

C’erano poche persone, un pochino di compagnia in più ci sarebbe voluta

Che meraviglia e una magia soggiornare in quel posto...un po eccessivo i prezzi del menù. Ma ci puo stare visto che il cibo fresco arriva con la barca.Un paradiso.

Il più bel camp della Blue Lagoon. Le tende sono spaziose e pulite letteralmente a 2 passi dal mare. La loro posizione permette di vedere una magnifica alba con il sole che spunta dietro le montagne dell’Arabia Saudita. Bagni e docce pulitissime. Cibo ottimo e staff gentile e non invadente. Un vero e proprio angolo di paradiso !

Au top l’emplacement de fou et la gentillesse du personnel

I used to own a camp at the black see and I can tell you that the owner of the camp really knows his stuff. He thought about everything related to camping/Glamping. It was a very nice and pleasant stay. I definitely recommend it. Food: Perfect location: The best from this whole area

Emplacement incroyable. Une expérience très chouette de dormir sous la tente, mais…

Quel dommage : Le site n’est pas bien entretenu, il y a des déchets qui traînent, c’est infesté de mouches. Nous avions réservé 2 tentes twin et nous nous sommes retrouvés avec 1 grand lit et la 2e tente n’était qu’en 2e ligne… ils n’ont pas voulu nous changer la tente alors que la plupart des tentes étaient vides

Todo

Muy lentos concitando

It was everything I needed plus everything I didn't know I needed, wrapped up in great company and service, amazing music and cuisine and really good vibes. Cheers, guys! And, inshallah, see you soon!

I didn't like leaving.

Természetesség! Gyonyoru tengerpart, kenyelmes kunyho , nagyon kényelmes matraccal❗️ ez nagyon fontos. Széles étel és ital kinalat

Àrak picit dràgák. Étel ital

Best night of sleep in years. The place is a gem, the food is excellent, and the vibe is unmatchable.

Beautiful location, very peaceful and relaxing. It’s very basic but that makes it a different experience, waking up to the sounds of the waves is amazing

Everything The place The people

Nothing at all

Location, staff, food.. I would literally say everything

That we had to leave it

Great location and beautiful scenery. It attracts a beautiful crowd and the staff are great l. Spent a few peaceful days and would have loved to stay longer

Shower and bathrooms are a bit rundown but were still usable

Clean, super kind people, magical atmosphere, great food :)

Beautiful place, perfect to relax and enjoy nature. Comfortable tents with a stunning view of the sunrise. Very friendly staff and delicious food. Extra pro: cuddling with the dogs!

The wifi is only working in the main areas, not in the tent. I didnt mind it because i wanted to disconnect but something to keep in mind

Amazing setup and a great food from a professional chef. Location is great so you get access to different views of the lagoon. Place is equipped to make you have a great time. Totally recommended.

Everything

Location was the best and close to nature

Super high prices, like in London.

Connecting with the nature it’s very simple place full of energy and staff are amaaaazing

Location, it’s an exiting journey to reach the place full of adventures when you go you will understand :)!

Peace and tranquility.

Nothing

Emplacement de dingue !

Confort "spartiate" Wi-fi ne fonctionnant pas.

The location is absolutely amazing.

Price is not worth for more than one day. There are no services. No electricity (just in some common aerea). Mattress was smelly. Cats and dogs where people are sitting, than piling and then coming back where people are sitting. Food very expansive and no prices on the menu (seems like they charge on their preference).

Absolument tout! Une équipe incroyable un lieu magique, une expérience formidable!

Rien du tout!

The position of the camp I believe is the best among all the other camps around. You have the lagoon on your right and the open sea at your left, therefore the colours and the panorama are amazing, 100 out of 10. The guys cook delicious food and, although other reviews say it is overpriced, knowing Blue Lagoon I can tell it is not easy to find a camp with a good kitchen over there, so it is pretty normal they make you pay for it. We paid more or less 90$ for a dinner of four people, beers and water.

I think many of the previous reviewers may have been influenced by the beauty of the location, which is indeed wonderful. That said, there are still several aspects of the camp that would need improvement in order to truly deserve a 9.4 on Booking. Of course, this is a camp and not a 5-star resort, but some basic services should always be guaranteed. For example, the shower head in the common bathroom was not distributing enough water to wash properly, it was basically leaking a few drops. The huts themselves are very small for two people and give the impression of having been built just to have a roof on your head. WiFi was not working at all, so it’s good to be aware that you’ll likely be disconnected during your stay. Regarding staff, they were not rude, but their approach felt quite relaxed, almost as if they were on holiday themselves. I appreciate the “Dahab mood,” but we had to wait 30 minutes under the sun for our hut to be ready, despite having informed them of our arrival time. The person preparing the huts had just come out of the sea, which didn’t give the impression of great organization. The common areas also need more attention: food and drinks weren’t served at tables, and the carpeted lounge area was noticeably dirty. It would make a big difference if the carpets were shaken out regularly. Dishes and glasses from breakfast were still on the tables at lunchtime, and lunch dishes stayed there until the afternoon, while staff seemed more focused on playing music rather than on tidying up. Overall, the place has potential and the atmosphere is relaxed, but I think the team should reflect on what kind of service they want to provide. Guests don’t expect luxury, but they do expect the basics and to feel they are getting fair value for what they pay.

It was such a beautiful experience to wake up in front of the sea. Also, the presence of the lagoon right behind it gave us the opportunity to do a kitesurfing lesson. It was amazing.

The room itself was very simple, which is fine. What wasnt, was the fact that we found some trash at the side of the tent. Also didnt like the fact that there wasnt many options for food there.

The food was amazing, the quality, the location, the staff, the dogs and the decor. It is great to see high quality camp in blue lagoon tbh

It is a little bit pricey and would appreciate cheaper options for food or discounts especially for longer stay residents.

Everything is clean and the food and services are amazing I keep returning to this amazing place from the past 4 years The staff is so amazing

Its the best camp in blue lagoon

It is very clean, good food and good vibe

Relaxing and thanks to Mr Reda for his help

Prices of meals

Everything was perfect, the place, the tents, the view, the food, the staff (abdu and mohammed were so nice helpfull and welcoming), the dogs (especially zanzu 🥰 such a cutie)..

Not having stayed longer

Very very special place to stay. This is a place for those seeking peace and offline freedom. Food they serve is simple yet delicious. The staff is warm and friendly and I guarantee you will leave this place grounded and with lots of friends. The surrounding beach area is stunning and the colours of the Red Sea is just beautiful. Will be back!

Point of improvement would be: to have some kind of lighting in the bedrooms, reliable music at the restaurant and towels service.

Staff is so friendly

Amazing place for relaxing some days in the middle of the lagoon. Easy to get there, and they answer anything by the booking chat. 100% reccomended!

Breakfast is included but not Cafe or Te.

There is not any privacy, toilet is in the middle of the Camp, food is expensive, there is not light in your tent so you have to ask for it and also not any small night table.

outstanding stay. wish we could have stayed longer. from the delicious food, clear turquoise water and great staff.. this spot is hard to beat.

Best camp in blue lagoon by far. Excellent service, staff, food, cleanliness and vibes. Loved everything about it, would highly recommend it.

Nothing

The place is a piece of heaven, staff super friendly, views are impressive, away from any distractions, helps with staying disconnected and connected with nature and oneself! Would definitely come again

You have to prepare how you will reach to the camp, the camp sent me guidelines, but I was somehow lost how should I find these options. There are no options for eating there except their restaurant, so prepare yourself to pay more for lunch and/or dinner.

The staff was amazing, the food was superb and the best I had in Egypt. The location is amazing, so beautiful and comfy in every corner. I needed a few days off and this was the perfect place to relax, chill and enjoy the sea. The facilities were always clean and the bed was very comfortable. All in all a perfect stay.

The only thing that was not perfect was the transfer. The pricing is a bit vague… I paid 400 LE from Dahab to Abu Galum and 300LE to Gabila by car. Backwards the price was 2000LE from Gabila to Dahab by boat. The boat guys told me that’s the price for the whole boat, so when others joined me to drive back I was sure that we’ll split the price because that was written in a message as well. We did that and the taxi driver asked me how much I paid - I said 500LE (because we’ve split the price). He was not happy and a bit angry about that but drove me to the bus station. 20 minutes later the guy who was with me on the boat came to that bus station and said he paid 500LE more for me (so 1000LE in total) and he wants that money back… He said nothing to me while we were driving together in the car, so I actually think that’s a made up story. He said to me that I have to pay more because I reserved the boat… That makes absolutely no sense at all, because THEY joined ME and I have to pay the full price for one boat?! We all used the boat so a fair split should be the way to handle this. Driving to the far away bus station to squeeze money is really another level of naughtiness… As I have residency in Egypt I am pretty sure that was another ripp off and there are different prices for locals and foreigners which I can’t stand anymore. Feeling ripped off is the worst feeling someone can have after he finished a beautiful vacation. I hope someday everyone in this country will understand, that they will earn the same if not more when the guest feel safe and valued and not pressured and squeezed. But anyway, I don’t blame the guys at Gabila they were always very nice and generous.

This is simply a hidden paradise on a whole new level. Everything was perfect. The views the bed the FOOD! Yes it is considered very expensive food for Egypt but also you must factor the logistics in crossing from blue hole to blue lagoon, having said that it could still be cheaper haha! But nonetheless this is such a special place, wonderful staff as well

Nothing

A little corner of paradise. In the best part of the lagoon there is a special place where you sleep under a blanket of stars just a step away from the sea. A spiritual and eclectic place full of great musics and vibes!

None

It’s a place like non before

Absolutely nothing

The staff was friendly and helpful. Accommodation was super comfortable and location is breathtaking. The best on the island. You feel like you’re in another world from how beautiful and serene it is.

The lunch and dinner options were extremely expensive. Like Italy prices. I preferred to eat at the other camps with authentic Bedouin food. Also, the warm shower and Wi-Fi didn’t work at Gabila.
