Alfredo Pizza Dahab

Alfredo Pizza is a beachfront Italian restaurant on Masbat Bay in Dahab, the Sinai diving village that has cultivated a surprisingly international food scene over the decades as divers, backpackers, and long-stay travelers from across Europe and beyond have settled or repeatedly returned. The Italian owner has maintained the restaurant with imported ingredients that keep the pizza closer to Italian authenticity than most would expect at a beach cafe in the Egyptian Sinai. Dough is made fresh daily, the tomato base uses quality tinned tomatoes rather than inferior local substitutes, and the mozzarella is sourced where possible through supply chains the owner has developed over years of operation. The margherita pizza demonstrates the kitchen's principles most plainly — simple ingredients, correct heat, and a crust that achieves the thin-and-crisp balance. Quattro formaggi and a seafood pizza using fresh Red Sea catch are the other signature preparations. A small selection of craft beers makes Alfredo one of the better-equipped post-dive dining options along the bay. The setting is quintessential Dahab: tables on a terrace or decking facing the Gulf of Aqaba, the Saudi Arabian mountains visible across the water, and the ambient soundtrack of the beach town at work. No reservation is needed; walk-ins fill the simple tables from lunchtime through the evening.
