22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
dahab

This photo shows the quiet, empty streets of the commercial market in Dahab during the early morning hours. Without the usual crowds, the market has a calm, almost serene feel, with the soft morning light illuminating the colorful stalls and traditional storefronts. Each shop, filled with unique goods like handmade crafts, jewelry, and local spices, waits silently for the day’s activity to begin. The absence of people allows a rare glimpse of Dahab’s market in its purest form, offering a peaceful moment before the hustle and bustle starts.
