By far the best of the lagoon’s resorts, Le Meridien spills over a series of terraces that flow down to a sweep of white sand. The rooms are the height of contemporary chic, decorated in a palette of burnt orange, sunshiney yellow and stone. This is where to come if you want your Dahab experience served up with five-star comfort.
