RAS SHITAN BEACH LIFE

5/31/20264 min read

Combining the vibrant, ancient history of Cairo holidays with a relaxing beach camp stay on the coast offers the ultimate balance for an Egyptian vacation. After spending a few days exploring crowded city markets and desert monuments, Bedouin Star provides an intimate, low-density camp layout with a select number of rooms, designed for true relaxation right on the shoreline. Welcoming global travelers since 2010, our properties feature a permanent, 24-hour physical connection to the main national electricity grid, supplying a stable power supply to run our room air conditioning units reliably day and night

Navigating from the Capital to Your Beach Room

Traveling from the bustling capital down to our quiet beach camp in Ras Shitan, Nuweiba is straightforward and can be customized to fit your travel style:

  • ✈️ By Air via Sharm El Sheikh: Taking a quick domestic flight from Cairo to Sharm El Sheikh Airport is the most popular route. We are located a smooth 1.5 to 2-hour drive north of the airport. To ensure your arrival is completely smooth and stress-free, simply contact our desk directly before your trip. Bedouin Star will let you know the best way how to get to the beach by providing clear directions and reliable local advice on navigating the route [Example 1, Example 5].

  • 🚗 By Land Proximity: If your travel itinerary takes you along the northern highways, our camp sits an easy 20 minutes north of the Nuweiba port and around a 45-minute drive south of the Taba border terminal.

Our refreshing beachfront swimming pool and private cabins with a traditional shaded Arisha.

Frequently Asked Questions for Cairo Vacationers

  • Q1: Can we access the coral reef directly from our beach room?

    • A: Yes, effortlessly. The pool deck is situated directly on the sand, just a short 15-meter walk from the water's edge. Our beachfront location allows you to walk just one minute down the sand to a wide, easy sand entrance, making it effortless to transition from a dip in the swimming pool to snorkeling among world-class marine life. We highly recommend packing your own water shoes and snorkeling gear to explore the quiet coral reef ecosystem safely.

  • Q2: How do dining arrangements work if we want full or half board pricing?

    • A: To keep your holiday expenses entirely predictable, your standard booking includes a fresh daily breakfast.
