NABQ Protected Area, located in South Sinai, Egypt, covers 600 km² and was established in 1992 to protect the region’s unique biodiversity and natural resources. This area is home to diverse ecosystems, including coral reefs with over 200 species of hard coral, extensive mangrove stands, and seagrass beds that support endangered species like the green sea turtle and dugong. The park also features rich mountain landscapes, such as the Wadi El Keed watershed, and is known for its diverse wildlife, including the Nubian ibex and dorcas gazelle. NABQ is a key ecotourism destination, promoting sustainable resource use while supporting the local Bedouin community. The area is also important for its archaeological sites and remains largely undeveloped, preserving its natural integrity.

A remarkable destination that blends the rugged beauty of rocky mountains with the serene vastness of desert landscapes. This place is a must-see at least once in a lifetime. The dramatic contrast between the towering rock formations and the expansive desert plains creates a breathtaking vista that leaves a lasting impression. It's a perfect escape for those seeking both adventure and tranquility, where the raw, untamed beauty of nature is on full display

-A natural preserve located 20 min away from the city. -The place is accessible by normal cars yet you will pass several checkpoints including border control due to close vicinity with Saudi and other sensitive areas and you might need to leave your ID at the gates -It’s filled with Mangroves and palm trees, The place is more for camping and relaxing and not for snorkeling or diving as the beaches are rocky and muddy so not the best to swim yet you can ride horses or camels by the beach or rent a quad bike or even go Kayaking… The place needs more attention from the authorities as it’s quite filled with waste and plastic leftovers.

Stunningly beautiful nature reserve. Attended a wonderful guided tour with the children today. The natural landscape is picturesque. I would highly recommend visiting this nature reserve.

Now to be clear we did not get out here until about 4pm with the prime purposes of camel riding and viewing the setting sun over the Sinai Peninsula. The reserve is huge covering about 600 sq miles so we did not get down near the sea. So my photos are of the Bedouin Camps, camels and most impressively the views. And if everything is in alignment you can try Bedouin breadmaking, and see sunset and moon rise.
