Egypt City: Nuweiba

Of course, far from the brightest resort of Egypt, Nuweiba is located in the east of the Sinai Peninsula, 170 kilometers from Sharm El Sheikh and 85 kilometers from Dahab. She stretched 10 kilometers along the Aqab’s Bay from North to South.

Often, travel agents involuntarily enlist the tourists misleading, telling them about the uniqueness and beauty of the Nuweiba, in connection with which the many people are disappointed. The fact is that it is originally Nuweiba – this is a small Bedouinsky town, living primarily by the port, from where the cargo-passenger ferries in Aqabu (Jordan) are sent up to three times a day. In the 1990s, Nweiba was popular in among hippies and informals, which came here from Europe and neighboring Israel. These guys lived in modest bungalows and did not miss the opportunity to taste "Grace" (herbs), for which they could be in the police in their homeland.

Subsequently, beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea with corals attracted investors, and massive hotels began to build in Nuweibe, waiting for the influx of tens of thousands of tourists. But the aggravation of the Arab-Israeli conflict in 2000, then the years of instability in Egypt itself made their own adjustments to the transformation of the nuweiba in a full-fledged resort. Several hotels built managed, but dozens of others and stand in different degrees of abandonment, greatly ugly the beautiful bay of the number. The town never became the resort in the full sense of the word and again lives by the prior trade and income from the customs. There is practically no tourist infrastructure, and choosing a nuveuba as a place to hold a vacation, all these factors should be kept in mind.

Districts of Nueburg

• Nuweiba Tarabin (Tarabin) in the north. Here still live Bedouins and a spicy aroma of the East has been preserved. The area consists of dense palm groves, shallow bay and the ruins of the Turkish fort. Inside the walls of the fort there is a well, centuries used by Bedouins as a source of drinking water. Along the bay built a lot of small hotels and campgrounds, focused on the happiness youth with a modest budget.
• Nuweiba City (Nuweiba Town, Nuweiba City), Town Center. Here is a sufficiently littered and dusty commercial zone with a bank, mail, a negotiation point, supermarkets and bazaars. Farmings in Jordan (travel time – from three to four hours, taking into account the border and customs control), regularly leave. Significant pillars happen in the center of the town before the shipment of the ferry; Hundreds of traders in a hurry to sell goods brought from Jordan and have time to sail the same ferry back, at the same time hundreds of cars, breaking the turn, take the place to take place on the ferry, because of what chaos, noise and even full-fledged fights between local chauffs and merchants arise. Adding policemen to this, rather unceremoniously chasing Buyanov, we get a real performance in the open sky. All this colorful sight, but definitely not for a family walk.
