Bedouin Culture
A visit to Nuweiba gives you an introduction to Bedouin culture, as the lands are steeped in it. Many of the camps along the coast are owned or run by Bedouins, who are famous for their warmth, hospitality, and storytelling. Nuweiba evenings are reserved for gathering around the campfire and enjoying a night filled with storytelling and poetry recitals, traditional music and singing, and copious amounts of sweetened marmareya (mountain sage) or habak (mint-like herb) aromatic tea.
On desert hikes and safaris, you will learn more about Sinai’s land from its residents. The Bedouins are born conservationists, forming a sacred alliance with the land they live on. They know every plant, animal, and tree on their lands and are happy to impart the knowledge to their guests.
Traditional Bedouin dinner
A traditional Bedouin dinner in a desert valley after dark! Meals usually consist of a casserole made of potatoes, chicken, or lamb, served with unique flat bread baked under coal. Sounds simple, but you’ve never tasted anything like it.
