    What makes Tanis stand out are the many fragments of massive rock structures including granite scattered throughout the ancient site, and what really interests visitors is the fact that some of the remains were burned.

Things to do in Nuweiba

  • 05 16, 2023

Nuweiba, an Egyptian city within the South Sinai Governorate, is situated along the Gulf of Aqaba. Covering an area of 5,097 square kilometers, it lies 85 kilometers north of Dahab and 465 kilometers from the Suez Canal. Nestled in the eastern region of the Sinai Peninsula, Nuweiba boasts a picturesque coastline lined with a diverse array of hotels and camps, ranging from luxurious five-star establishments to more economical options. The stunning backdrop of the Sinai mountains, coupled with views of Saudi Arabia across the sea, creates a breathtaking landscape.

Dahab, the closest city to Nuweiba, can be accessed via Sharm El Sheikh International Airport. Renowned for its numerous diving centers, Dahab features over 50 locations primarily focused on beach diving. Egypt Day Tours in Dahab provide opportunities for visitors to explore the enchanting waters of the Red Sea, along with a variety of day tours that cater to those seeking relaxing beach activities, including Dahab Safari Day Tours.

To the north of Nuweiba lies the Bedouin settlement of Tarabeen, characterized by bamboo bungalows along the shoreline, while the southern area is dominated by a less appealing port from which ferries depart twice daily to Aqaba, Jordan. Nuweiba Castle, a small fortress constructed by the Egyptian Sardaria in 1893, was originally established as a police station to ensure security in the region. The castle features imposing walls, entrances, and a large door, with a water well located within its confines, approximately two miles from the Wadi Al Ain Temple to the north, in what is now referred to as Nuweiba Tarabin.

Nuweiba is situated on an expansive floodplain of approximately 40 square kilometers, located about 465 kilometers southeast of Cairo and 70 kilometers south of the Israel-Egypt border, which separates Taba and Eilat. Established in 1985, Nuweiba Port serves as a ferry terminal on the Gulf of Aqaba, facilitating convenient travel between Jordan and Egypt. I invite all tourists to pose any inquiries, as I am a specialized guide in Egyptology, present on Egyptian soil.
