I would suggest that you don’t travel overland and as the nearest airport is in Sharm, you would have a two or so hour drive to get to Dahab. There have been tourists kidnapped and quickly released in the recent past with no harm done and the comment from the lady who was kidnapped was that she was treated very well. Sharm offers a good option. Airport is right there and therefore little exposure outside of a tourist complex. Oonas Dive Club at the top of Naama Bay is pretty good and the staff contains quite a few long term members from England. It is always my choice when I head there. My guy in Dahab quit when the tourism dropped with the shark hysteria a few years ago and no one was allowed in the water for a while.
