Being part of the hostel's team was a dream come true, and I'm so thankful to everyone who made my journey unforgettable. It wasn't just a job – it was an incredible experience where I learned so much about hospitality and met amazing people. As an event organiser, I spent time chatting with guests, promoting hostel events, and ensuring everyone felt welcome. I also attended plenty of events, picking up skills and insights along the way. What made it truly special was the warm, supportive atmosphere – it felt like home. To everyone involved in this journey, thank you! I'd absolutely recommend !

Volunteering at the hostel was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Dahab is a very special town that truly changed my life. The hostel is a perfect place to meet people from all over the world! For me, though, the thing that makes it special is the opportunity to connect with locals. Many Egyptians stay at the hostel, and it's beautiful to connect with them. At the hostel, you're genuinely treated as a volunteer, and the staff members are the kindest people I've ever met. I'm really grateful for this experience and hope to come back soon! <3

I should consider this my first real volunteer experience. This was the first time I was actually helping instead of working. My tasks were basically axiliate a paid worker in the events, talk and have fun with guests. I had so much fun with everyone, and always had enough time to enjoy the city. Thank you so much for this experience you guys made my life worth living in this place.

Right from the beginning I knew the experience would be amazing. The events- so fun, the staff- friendly, and the hostel- incredibly clean. But it came with some struggles. My commitment was creating 4 videos a week. My manager created a calendar for me to follow, which I completed every task and helped double their reach from previous month. In the end, I was told that I'm not being productive as I hadn't followed the commitment, after completing every task assigned. I think they could use management training. Wasn't enjoying in the end. I would go back as a guest. <3 bfast by chef reham.
