Egypt's Red Sea

Holidays in Nuweiba

About an hour south of Taba, Nuweiba is a small, peaceful resort and port with a laid back atmosphere. The shallow reefs around Nuweiba are ideal for snorkelling, while there are good dive sites to the north and south of the resort.

Holidays in Nuweiba are idyllic - the wonderful sandy beaches, the looming mountains fading into the horizon and the crystal clear waters dotted with reef formations combine to create an atmosphere that is at once relaxing and invigorating.

The area has been inhabited by local Bedouin for many years, and today you can meet some of the many that still live in Nuweiba and gain an insight into their unique way of life.

Nuweiba is well positioned for visiting awe-inspiring sights such as Petra, Jerusalem or St Catherine's Monastery, all excursions that can be booked locally. Its location between the shores of the Red Sea and the desert also make Nuweiba an ideal destination if you're looking for an active holiday, with camel trekking, quad biking, jeep safaris and a variety of watersports all readily available.

Meanwhile, a taste of authentic local life is on offer in nearby Nuweiba town, where bazaars, shops, restaurants and the port buzz with daily activity.
