Nuweiba' Travel Guide

If you plan to take the ferry from Aqaba to Nuweiba or the other way around, plan ahead so as not to worry about your luggage.  ALL luggage is collected in a large container (everyone is told to throw their bag inside) and later it is rolled aboard the ferry.  Once the ferry arrives at its destination, the container is rolled off and made available to anyone and everyone on the dock.  This can be disconcerting if you are not prepared. Some suggestions to consider:

Carry your valuables on your peson.

Lock your luggage.

Ensure your luggage is marked/lableled on the inside and outside with your name and contact information.

Make sure you can easily identify your bag.

Don't worry - It can all be replaced.

Good journeys!

If you're planning to stay at Nuweiba', then I would recommend the Half Moon Camp. Its around 4 or 5 kilometers on the way to Dahab from Nuweiba' itself, and is right next to Ras Shitan (literally meaning the Devil's Head), which is a known spot in that area. The camp offers very cheap accommodation in small huts right on the beach. The food is not bad at all (a bit basic), and the overall atmosphere is very relaxing. The sea is full of a variety of fish and reefs are beautiful. The area is ideal for viewing the sunrise. Its worth dropping by for a day or two if you're visiting Sinai, to experience the laid back atmosphere and to check out the sea around the area.

It's a small town at Mt, Sinai and when you want to take a ferry boat to Jordan, you can take two different ways, one for slow boat which would take a number of hours and the other one for speed boat which looks like a big plane inside and it takes only few hours to get Jordan.

For the tickets it's better to buy from travel agencies in big cities and it would makes you to travel easier.
