I saw a cost‑of‑living index of 95 and want to understand what that means for daily expenses.
How does the cost of living in Dahab compare to the rest of Egypt?

Dahab’s cost‑of‑living index is 95, where 100 represents the national average. This indicates that everyday expenses—such as groceries, dining out, and utilities—are slightly cheaper than the average across Egypt. You can expect modest savings on food markets and local transport, while imported goods may still follow national price trends. Budgeting around the national average will generally cover your needs, but you may find a small margin of extra purchasing power in Dahab due to the lower index. For detailed breakdowns, consult cost‑of‑living calculators that let you input local prices.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Dahab.
