The head of Satan: Easter holidays in Sinai, Egypt

For the Easter holidays, we went back to Sinai with my family. We passed the border of Eilat (Israel) to reach the Egyptan side of the Red Sea, in front of Jordan. There, we found bedouin camps to host us, we choosed this time Castle beach, located in Rosh HaSatan "Satan's head", named out of the big rock that closes the bay…
A beautiful reef full of colored fishes, nice bungalows to stay in and of course, the amazing mountains of Sinaï, reflecting themselves in the sea… All what I need to spend a week to sketch and rest peacefully !

Sukkot holidays in Sinai • Egypt

For the last vacation of Sukkot we decided to try again to pass the border from Israel to Egypt to spend few days in Sinai. Last time, for Pessar, the Israeli government closed the border when we were half way to Eilat. We had to change our plans and go to Jordan instead…

Finally we did it ! 7 years I haven't been there and I found the place unchanged. A bedouin camp in the city of Neweiba. Bangalows near the beach, the coral bareer, the colorfull fishes, an amazing view on the mountains of Jordan on the other side of the Red sea, few families to play with my kids, the perfects ingredients for me to sketch !
