 The beach at Tarabeen by swisssinai
Tarabeen is the prettier of the two and is located on a land sandy beach with date palm trees and sand dunes at one end.
Lots of little cafes, shops, kiosks and small camps and budget hotels make this a great little place to hang out and relax. Leave a Comment Address: NuweibaDirections: North of Nuweiba

 Me in the Colored Canyon by myriam_c
The drive from Sharm El Sheikh to Nuweiba was an easy 160 km drive over the highway. The next leg of the trip, from Nuweiba to the entrance of the canyon was a little more spectacular and can only be done by 4WD. It lasted about 45 min., went offroad, up and downhill, over rocks, etc.
It was only the day after that my back felt broken ...
The 1.5 hour hike through the canyon was of a stunning beauty. The rocks vary in colors from white over yellow, ochre, pink to almost red. Sometimes the 'path' was very difficult with steep climbs, we had to crawl under rocks, and on many occasions the bottom of the canyon was so narrow that we could not even put one foot next to the other.

Yellows, reds and greys are the main colours here - the whorls of colour are pretty impressive without being incredible. It's the whole experience that makes this walk worthwhile - once in the gorge, it's not about height of the surrounding 'walls'. Then there is this sudden flash of green - and you ask yourself just how does this grow and survive here? Leave a Comment

As well as the oldest working monastery, it also the smallest diocese in the world.
Architecturally, its a bit of a hotchpotch. It has been added onto for many centuries, including, at one stage in the 10th century. converted into a Mosque, built in allegiance to the Muslims that promised to protect it. The walls surrounding the whole complex are metres thick, although nowadays the monastery has spread into the surrounding desert, where, coming from the road, the first thing that you see of the Monastery are the cypress trees and gardens.
The site of the burning bush is still there (as is a more recent bush to represent the Biblical story) and. thankfully, entrance to the monastery is now at ground level, as opposed to the original gate about half way up the front wall (small wooden structure in the main picture). Goods and people were all hauled up by a crude rope pulley to gain access! Leave a Comment

I think David Byrne and Talking Heads were thinking of this route when they wrote 'Road To Nowhere' - miles and miles of hot tarmac into seeming nothingness (but absolutely stunning).
While driving (or to be more exact, being driven) along this road, it was the first time I had ever seen what I can only describe as glaciers - but glaciers of sand, not ice. Vast sweeps of pristine, windswept, virginal sand, hundreds of metres in length Leave a Comment

 colored canyon by counsel14
Trekking through the Colored Canyon is a lot of fun and it is also a very popular day trip for tourists staying at the Red Sea resorts given its proximity. It is also easily accessed from any of the camps and resorts in Taba, Dahab or Nuweiba. Leave a Comment Directions: 12 Km north of Nuweiba
