Nuweiba (also spelled: Nueiba; Arabic: نويبع, IPA: [neˈweːbeʕ]) is a coastal town in the eastern part of Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, located on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba.
Historically, it is in the Asian part of Egypt, and the area was inhabited by two different ancient Bedouin tribes: the Tarabin to the north, and the Muzeina some 8 km (5 mi) to the south.
Nuweiba Port, some 7 km (4 mi) to the south, was established and developed,[1] with several car ferries running every day to Aqaba in Jordan by the Arab Bridge Maritime company, and with a small town growing up around it.
[3] Between the town and the port are a strip of modern hotels, catering to beach holiday makers and divers.
One km north of Nuweiba City, Tarabin village is well known for its Bedouin-style camps where cheap huts are available for rent.
