Lots of 'camp sites' like this, particularly ni the northern part of the Gulf of Aqaba, between Nuweiba and Taba. Popular with backpackers and Israelis. Search 'camp + Nuweiba' in Google to find them.

Sounds like the Kirosiez Beach resort (sister of Kiroseiz three corners), they have 22 bungalows, a bar and restaurant overlook the sea, lovely views while eating breakfast, and it is Belgian owned, so most likely to be there. You can also use the facitilites of St George and Kiroseiz Hotels (free shuttle bus every 20 min will also drop you off to Naama Bay). I stayed there in June, we loved it, peaceful, great staff and overall a much better personal service. They even made me a cuppa at 4am as i had a headache and got the manager to give me paracetamol.

Thanks Pubestone :D . What was the snorkelling like there? Are the other hotels just right next door?

Thanks

one russian hotel and one Italian hotel and thats that, but not directly next door if that makes sense. the beach is fab and really great snorkelling, couldnt keep my hubby out of the water. There is also a diving centre on site that was dirt cheap. the resort itself is really private and is a divers haven with the beach on youtr doorstep. We saw dolphins once when eating breakfast, which was great, at night you would ahve some strnge things lurking around in the water (you could hear whatever it was) but couldnt see. When the tide went out, the entire exposed area was littered with hundreds of starfish and hermit crabs (cute), got some fab pics.

Hi there

And how do you book these bungalows? I am doing searches and nothing is coming up except the three corners

Thank you

book the Kiroseiz three corners hotel, specify that you want a beach bungalow and they will reserve it for you. we went through Planet Travel to book and asked specifically for this hotel and bungalows (Med Hotels were the reps). We paid £319 12 weeks before departure for 1 week AI.

Thank you so much. Will try through planet travel then. Is there a pool? (we are taking the kids) Is it as far north as Sharks Bay? I know an area called Ras Bob. Is it around there?
Thank you for your help

there is no pool as it is on the beach, bad news for you is, the bungalows are only for couples, however, if you stay at the main Kiroseiz hotel, you can hire a bungalow with the children for a night or two as others did very cheaply. The children will love and be fascinated the array of fish that even swim in the shallows. You can clearly see the fish and coral off the jetty to without even getting into the water. I hope you can arrange to go even for a night or two, we loved it. Another tip, get up around 5.30am to watch the sunrise over the sea, it is a gorgeous site and well worth getting up for, just make sure you have your camera handy .

Would you mind sharing with me the telephone number/email address for the Kiroseiz three corners hotel? Its bungalows sound JUST RIGHT for us and we're hoping to visit Sharm sometime soon!
