Nuweiba

Nuweiba (also spelled: Nueiba; , ) is a coastal town in the eastern part of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, located on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba.

==History== Historically, it is in the Asian part of Egypt, and the area was inhabited by two different ancient Bedouin tribes: the Tarabin to the north, and the Muzeina some to the south. After the Six-Day War when Israel occupied the area, a small town was established just south of Tarabeen under the Hebrew name of Neviot (). After the departure of the Israelis, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak expanded the settlement. Nuweiba Port, some to the south, was established and developed, with several car ferries running every day to Aqaba in Jordan by the Arab Bridge Maritime company, and with a small town growing up around it.
