We went for Thanksgiving weekend to a little beach camp on the coast of Sinai between Taba and Nuweiba. Being almost winter, there were very few tourists, but there are a whole series of camps with huts on the beach that other times get crowded. Our friends Rebecca and Walid rented a car and we drove out with them at dawn Thursday morning, which took around 5 hours. We came back a day earlier than they did, and a car with driver reservation we'd made fell through, so we wound up on the bus back, over 7 hrs.
The desert we crossed is big, as Walid and I are motioning, but it's not really very flat.
Here's the crew: me, Rachel, Walid and Rebecca.
The huts are simple, with rug-over-sand floors and a foam mattress on the rug, but the whole idea is you're there for the beach.

This "castle," built starting about 15 years ago, was where we ate a very nice Thanksgiving fish dinner.
Morning: tea, coffee and beach.
Looks like we'll be going back to Sinai next week for another longer weekend.
