Nuweiba Nuweiba on the eastern coast of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, 70 km south of Taba and 180 km north of Sharm el Sheikh, and only 110 km from St. Katherine. Understand Nuweiba means, “bubbling springs” in Arabic. The 7-km long stretched settlement developed from a barren isolated place with no infrastructure into a promising and attractive tourist destination. Nuweiba is just recently discovered by tourist investors establishing hotels along the coastline connecting it with Taba in the north and Dahab in the south. Get in Boats connect Nuweiba to Aqaba, Jordan. The ticket office difficult to find. There is a road the runs along the outside wall of the port entrance. At the corner of the wall furthest from the port entrance, there is an intersection, and the ticket office is located across the street to the south of port. Cost at is US$50 for the fast boat, US$37 for the slow boat. The fast boat leaves at 3pm daily. Foreigners are required to pay in US cash. There is also a 50EGP departure tax. The other main travel is by East Delta coaches. This is basically a shabby bus that goes to many places including Cairo, Dahab and Sharm el Sheikh. The prices are very cheap (about 50p) but the buses are really not that good. They are ok if you are going to sleep a lot of the way. It is not just a bus for tourists it is also a local bus service so ladies be sure to cover up to a certain amount. Get around There are only a few ways that you can get around in Nuweiba. One is the blue and white taxis. Although you can get just white taxis, stick only to the blue and white and also try and make a mental note of the drivers taxi license, which should be on clear display, and his taxi number, which should be on the drivers side of the taxi. If the driver is good and charges a good price then try and take his number as taxis can sometimes be hard to come by in a small place such as Nuweiba. Sleep Swisscare Nuweiba Resort Hotel, .

The Coloured Canyon is a magical place within the Sinai Desert, where you can clearly see the different colors the Sinai consists of.

In Nuweiba, Dahab and Sharm al-Sheikh, jeep-trips are offered to visit the canyon. You are dropped off at the beginning of the canyon, where you will have to climb down. The 800 meter walk through the canyon takes roughly 1 hour, and you will have to master some obstacles on your way, where boulders fell down, maybe hundreds of years ago. Whenever in doubt about which way to take: keep right.  At the end you will have to climb up again. Some trips include lunch in a bedouin tent. Don't forget to bring a bottle of water: the temperature in the canyon gets very high during the day.

Try to get there as early as possible. Not only because of the weather, but also to be there before all the other tourists. Egypt draws lots of tourist, and of course not all of them will visit the Sinai and the Coloured Canyon, but the magic of the place is best when on your own.

Mt Sinai (2285 m) and the midnight climb to reach the Summit for sunrise are a memorable excursion available from many Sinai resorts such as Dahab and Sharm. Muslims, Christians and Jews alike believe Moses received the 10 Commandments on top of Mt. Sinai. St Katherine's monastry at the base of the mountain has a unique library as well as the Burning Bush of biblical fame.

It is possible to climb the mountain in the middle of the night, starting at around 2.00 AM, and be on time to view the sunrise. Since you will not be the only one going to the top, you will see a chain of lights clinging to the mountain, a very special sight. Another possibility is to go up at around 8 or 9 PM the previous evening. Bedouins have started small shops on the way and at the top, so you will have something to drink and eat (cookies mostly) and at the top it's possible to hire some blankets, so you don't have to take along a sleeping bag. The climb is steep enough without one. Whatever time you go up, don't forget to bring enough water, a flashlight and some dry clothes, since the t-shirt you have worn on the way up will probably be soaked with sweat and you will need dry clothes to stay warm.

There are two different routes: one is the way the camels take and the other one consists of the so-called Steps of Repentence, 3000 steps going up. Most people take the camel route up and down, but it is nice to take the steps down. Even if you take the camel route, some way beneath the summit the normal trail meets the steps, and you will have no choice but to climb the steps up.

If you are get tired, it's possible to ride a camel up and down, but be aware that the last part of the way consists of the remaining part of the Steps of Repentance, and the camels stop at the base of these steps.
