Reviews Summary
Meya Meya is consistently praised for its wonderful atmosphere, delicious and fresh food, and exceptional hospitality. Diners love feeling like family and the stunning sea views.

"A wonderful place with a great atmosphere. I really enjoyed the quality of the food – it’s made with heart. The tea from the chef was also excellent.
Spent quality time with my father, thank you! 👍"
Maxim Gorlachev
"Wonderful place, with very, very good food. Mahmud is the funniest guy in Dahad (at least that’s what he thinks himself) and Sara is just so friendly and lovely. Be sure to check out the roof terrace as well, which is very nice and had an amazing view. The food is simply delicious! Warmly recommended to everyone!"

"Meya Meya keeps it's promise of 100% good experience.
Both the staff, the chef and the restaurant is amazing.
The place is both very relaxing and at the same time there is plenty of opportunities for great and charming conversations as well as good introduction to the egyptian/arabic language.
Mahmoud seems like Dahab incarnated with his beautiful heart and warm, down to earth and humorous mind.
At Meya Meya we feel at home!"

Dahab: Seaside Nomad Paradise You've Never Heard Of
Meya Meya- As you walk along the main street, you might hear Smiley, the appropriately nicknamed restaurant owner, call out to you with authentic and unique compliments. Maybe he urges you to come sit by the indoor fire for a moment, or test out the sunny upper roof deck. The fire is really nice on cool nights, and seating around it can accommodate for large groups.
