The Mountains by Nuweiba

Around the Middle East

Despite the hotel owners persistent assurances that it isn't possible to climb the mountains without hiring a guide and a camel, I set out one morning for a walk in the yellow-grey coastal mountains near Nuweiba. There isn't much up there, truth to be told, but as the sun settles the orange hues of seemingly never ending mountain tops is a magnificent sight.
