The challenge
What high-stakes problem had to be solved?
The business context, constraints, and risk surface that shaped every decision.
Dahab trip information was scattered, outdated and mostly English-only. Visitors needed one trusted place to plan and book in their own language, and local businesses needed a way to reach them and hire staff.
The platform had to serve an international audience in six languages (English, Arabic, Russian, German, French, Italian) with a single source of truth for travel content, bookable experiences, venue guides, and a job portal for local hiring — all while staying fast, secure, and cheap to run. The companion app Ask Sinai extends the experience to mobile.

System / solution
Technical design of the custom system.
Eleventy static site, Node.js/Express API, SQLite, PM2, Caddy, and Ask Sinai mobile app.
System architecture
Eleventy + Nunjucks static site (6 languages, ~915 pages) → Node.js/Express API for bookings, search, and admin → SQLite database → PM2 process management → Caddy reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS. Ask Sinai mobile app (iOS/Android) consumes the same API. Google Search Console & DataForSEO for SEO monitoring. Stripe integration planned for payments phase. 314 automated checks run on every build.
Flywheel impulse
Deployment, integration, and real-world use.
Verified real-world deployment, maintenance, and scale protocols.
Live in production at askdahab.com with Ask Sinai on the App Store and Google Play. The client team manages all content in the admin panel without writing code — the site rebuilds itself automatically on changes. GenAILabs deploys code updates. The stack runs cheaply on a single VPS: static site served by Caddy, Node.js/Express API for dynamic features, SQLite for data, PM2 for process management. 51 releases since October 2026.
- Integration pattern
- Eleventy static site on VPS → Node.js/Express API for bookings/search → SQLite database → PM2 process management → Caddy reverse proxy with HTTPS → Stripe (planned for payments phase) → Google Search Console & DataForSEO for SEO monitoring
- Scale protocol
- Static site serves at CDN speed; Node.js API handles dynamic features (bookings, search, admin); SQLite on local disk; PM2 keeps services alive; automated test suite (314 checks) runs on every deployment
- Maintenance mode
- Client team manages all content in the admin panel without code — site rebuilds itself on changes. GenAILabs deploys code updates. Runs cheaply on a single VPS with static site, Node.js, and SQLite.
