The stunning Sinai mountains provide a dramatic backdrop, while views of Saudi Arabia across the water enhance the area's natural beauty.

Nuweiba Castle, a modest fortress built by the Egyptian Sardaria in 1893, was initially established as a police station to maintain security in the area. The castle is characterized by its robust walls, entrances, and a large door, and it contains a water well within its premises, located approximately two miles from the Wadi Al Ain Temple to the north, in what is now known as Nuweiba Tarabin.

Nuweiba is situated on a vast floodplain of around 40 square kilometers, approximately 465 kilometers southeast of Cairo and 70 kilometers south of the Israel-Egypt border, which separates Taba and Eilat.
