Accommodation in Nuweiba, Egypt. Softbeachcamp, Tarabin.

Nuweiba is on the red sea coast but many people only go there to catch the ferry to Aqaba, Jordan.
But I read the Lonely Planet describing a place 'the best camp in Sinai', so we decided to check it out.
Found the website http://www.softbeachcamp.com/ which looked attractive enough, especially because of many Egyptian tourists there.

the camp. small touch of cute painting on the door makes the whole atmosphere a lot more lively.

Hut number 12 where we first stayed. It looks as if we were in the middle of a remote village of Africa somewhere, but this facility was for 'tourists' which makes the place more unique.
It was so inconvenient though, because of dirt ground inside. Only a mat on the dirt and some matresses on top, that was it. it's not too bad for the first few hours but it soon became uncontrollable with full of dirt everywhere.

The next hut looked better with tiles on the floor so I asked to move, but it was already booked so he would look for something similar.

So we managed to move to the best hut in the camp. No. 4.
Spacious room with clean matresses and new blanket, moreover the view from the hut was wonderful.

It might look romantic but the reality was very different.
Taking the kids to the showers/toilets away from the hut was not easy sometimes,
and Khamsin-dusty wind blown from Sahara Desert, was so intense, we found our bags absolutely covered with sand the morning after. I had to use waterproof cover on my camera bag, otherwise it was going to cause some grief.

If I was asked whether I would go back there one day, I would certainly say 'yes!'.
The accommodation itself wasn't the most comfortable place in the world, but there was something more to it than just that. I think that it felt like heaven like written on the door because of tranquility we could have there. It felt like miles away from anywhere but at the same time, I felt so close to the mother nature.

The cost?

Triple hut was 100 LE including breakfast.
