sinai weekend

Nuweiba is a favored mellowing spot after the mayhem of Cairo. There isn't much of a town, just a series of very low-key resorts, referred to as camps. Some are so basic that the rooms are just thinly thatched huts with no floor and a thin mattress and shared bathroom. The place we went this time was a bit more upscale, with buffet breakfast, a/c in the rooms, and most importantly a very reasonable snorkeling reef just a hundred yards straight out through shallow water. In this shot I'm half-way to the reef, which is where the darker deeper water starts. Mountains across are in Saudi. Rachel is chillin in the shade.



A feral camel wandered through camp.
The camp main building, with one of many outdoor seating areas.
