Basata Ecolodge
بساطة
One of the earliest eco-camps on the Sinai coast, with bamboo huts by the sea, self-sufficient operations, and a reputation for quiet, environmental care and a strong community atmosphere.
Basata means “simple.” Run by Egyptians since the 1980s, it was a pioneer of eco-tourism on the Sinai Peninsula. Bamboo and wooden huts line the beach and are powered by solar energy and desalinated seawater, with waste sorted and recycled. A communal kitchen lets guests cook for themselves. The camp is alcohol-free and peaceful, suiting families and anyone who wants to escape the bustle. The reef in front offers good snorkelling. Only booked guests and day visitors with reservations are accepted. The camp lies between Nuweiba and Taba, about 25 km from Nuweiba.
