 The ultra modern ‘City of Peace’ with its shining hotels, luxurious gardens, clean streets and annually held conferences harbors a guilty secret. Tour operators never sell excursions to this place, restaurants are not opened there and even police forces so profoundly seen in the rest of the town rarely enter the forgotten areas of Ruwaisat, located 15 minutes’ drive from the heart of entertainment, Naama Bay.
How It All began: back in 1998 Ruwaisat was a residential zone with few South Sinai Bedouins inhabiting it. Clean and gorgeous, it was soon discovered by foreign settlers attracted to the area by its amazing views on the desert, the mountains and the Tiran Island, as well as by its proximity to the St. Catherine National Park. Huge strips of land waiting to be developed and cultivated and affordable prices made the area even more appealing to those dreaming of a nice house with an exclusive design, a blossoming garden and a playground for kids. But even more so, being a true symbol of an authentic Sinai life, Ruwaisat attracted those who were willing to integrate with the local Bedouins and learn their traditions. Pretty soon the place which was used to be a desert turned into a small oasis with nice houses inhabited by educated Egyptians and foreigners. |
