Sinai · Ras Sudr, Sinai

The tables of Ras Sudr

Fish and grills on the Gulf of Suez coast, two hours from Cairo.

€€ Mid-range

The camps and holiday villages of Ras Sudr serve simple cooking facing the water: fish, grills, salads. It is the closest beach weekend to Cairo, and the dining follows suit: quick, family-run, unpretentious.

The extra bit

Kitesurf camps often serve meals to non-residents: ask at reception.

Know before you go

Few addresses outside the camps: plan to eat where you sleep.
