Sabah Camp

Sinai


Speckled with trees and shrubs and fronted by the golden sand of Bir Sweir beach, Sabah is a long-time hit with young hippy Israelis, who come here for serious chill out time and to doss in basic but well-kept hoosha (palm-thatch) huts just steps from the sea. Breakfast is not included in the hut price.
