Egypt
Sinai and the Red Sea
Things to Do
By Beth Hart
- Eat fish from the red sea and make friends over the nightly Bedouin style dinners. The dinners switch between vegetarian one night and fish the next. Many of the guests at Basata are European travelers, Egyptians from Cairo escaping the chaos of the city, or foreigners who live in Cairo. Come to think of it every time I’ve been there I’ve met a foreign journalist, and seen the same Italian couple.
- Snorkel/swim in the sea. There are patches of reef right off of the beach with all kinds of red sea fish: Angel fish, puffer fish, and lionfish to name a few. Watch out for the sea urchins and occasional eel!
- Beach volleyball (playing or watching!)
- Long walks on the beach (no this is not a personal ad)
- Watch the sun rise over Saudi Arabia. You can see all the way across the gulf of Aquaba to Saudi Arabia, but it is best when the sun silhouettes the mountains.
- Day trip to climb Mt. Sinai
- Desert hiking or camel trips
