By bus
To arrive from Nuweiba, there was a minibus, but it is not working any more (June 2025). So you have first to go to Dahab with Go Bus or East Delta.
By taxi
A taxi from Dahab or Nuweiba can cost around LE200 (Dec 2011).
You have two choices for getting around and climbing the mountain: on foot, or by camel. See Do for the full scoop.
