Things To Do

With the resort running for 7km along the Sinai Peninsula, there are long sandy stretches for sun-worshippers and water sports enthusiasts alike in Nuweiba on cheap holidays to Egypt. Uncrowded and peaceful, the beaches are calm and laid-back, catering to all types of holiday-makes, and with facilities to suit all kinds of budgets.  

Known as one of the most affordable places in which to scuba-dive, Nuweiba is popular with first-time divers, thanks to the attractively-priced rates for tuition and equipment. There's a rich underwater landscape to explore, thanks to the coral reef, which stretches for 3km along the shoreline and is home to a number of excellent dive sites.

There's more than one way to experience the beauty of the Red Sea in Nuweiba. Conditions are fantastic for snorkelling, even close to the shore, and there are numerous excursions out into deeper waters. Other options are glass-bottomed boat trips, ideal for those on family holidays, which allow passengers to fully appreciate the coral reefs and colourful marine life from the comfort of their seats.

Warm waters and glorious sunshine allow for plenty of water sports, with other activities to indulge in whilst on activity holidays in Nuweiba including jet skiing, pedalos, windsurfing, water skiing, and canoeing. Away from the beach, the various hotels offer a range of land-based activities, such as tennis, table tennis, volleyball, squash and bicycle rental. 

Tour the town and the surrounding area the traditional way, by taking a camel ride. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beach, or embark on an extensive camel safari through the spectacular desert landscape - the ultimate Bedouin experience.   

A fascinating look at the traditional culture of the Bedouin tribe, a trip to the authentic village of Al Muzeina on the outskirts of town makes for an interesting day out for those looking for cultural holidays in Egypt. A marked contrast to the resort, the village offers a slow relaxed pace, with an insight into the life of the local people.
