Nuweiba nightlife
This is a remote resort so most night time entertainment will be provided by your own or a neighbouring hotel. But there are local bars and beachside restaurants where you can watch the world go by while smoking a fruit-flavoured water-pipe – or have a beer and join the beach party discos.
Head along to the northern Tarabin area for more of a party atmosphere.Nuweiba shopping
There's plenty of duty free shopping in the port area, while the town centre has supermarkets and bazaars. It's easy to find a pyramid replica or a china camel to take home. Be ready to haggle for great deals on Egyptian goods such as copperware, leather, fabulous bed and table linens, spices and jewellery.
