Egypt
Sinai and the Red Sea
Getting There

By Beth Hart

Basata is in the Sinai Peninsula, on the coast of the Gulf of Aquaba. It is located a little over 20 km north of Nuweiba, and south of Taba. There are lots of small beach camps along this stretch of road popular with back packer types, vacationing Israelis, and hip Cairenes.

You can reach Basata via an eight-ish hour bus ride from Cairo, you can ask the bus driver to let you off there or catch a taxi from Nuweiba. You can return the same way, only on the way back stand by the side of the road at the appropriate time and flag down any bus you see going by, it will probably be heading to Cairo.
