Planning a trip to Nuweiba

Getting There

By Plane -- The nearest airport is Taba International, which, at the time of writing, was not accepting regularly scheduled domestic flights.

By Bus -- The bus station is on the highway, directly across from the main entrance to the town. If you have (unwisely) arrived without setting up a car to your accommodations beforehand, you will probably be able to get a ride -- for a price -- from someone there. If not, try the nearby gas station.

Getting Around

Transportation is a perennial problem on the coast. Staff at any of the hotels listed will be able to put you in contact with a private driver. Negotiate the price hard, and make sure that you explicitly nail down the specifics of time, destination, vehicle type, and air-conditioning (important during the summer). Unlike the rest of Egypt, ethical standards are pretty low among the drivers on this section of coast. You should pay around LE200 to LE250 a day ($36-$45/£19-£23) for a late-model, air-conditioned minivan.
