Sinai · Nuweiba, South Sinai

The tables of Nuweiba

Grilled fish and Bedouin salads on mats, facing Arabia.

Budget

The camps on the Nuweiba coast serve what they catch, cooked over fire and set on a mat: whole fish, rice, salad, bread. You eat on the ground, without a menu, as the light falls on the mountains opposite.

The extra bit

Give notice in the morning for the evening fish: camps buy according to orders.

Know before you go

Cash only, weak signal, and electricity limited to the evening generator.
