From Mainland Egypt
From Mainland Egypt
Coming from mainland Egypt, your departure point for the Sinai will be either Cairo or Suez. In Cairo, buses leave Abbassiya Station, also known as Sinai Station, at the northeast end of Ramses St. in die Al-Abbassiya district. The daily Sinai buses from Cairo go to Sharm ash-Sheikh and St. Catherine’s, Nuweiba, and on to Taba. One bus per day travels directly to Nuweiba via the new road across the northern Sinai- A direct bus runs to Dahab, which may stop in St. Catherine’s if it’s not full.
The city of Suez is another transit option, especially for travelers coming from Hurghada. Buses from Suez’s Arba’in Bus Station, off Sa’ad Zaghloul St., 1500m from the bay, run to Sharm ash-Sheikh (3 per day), Nuweiba (2 per day), and St. Catherine’s, Dahab, and Taba (1 per day; all routes LE12-17). Note that most buses from Cairo to the Sinai bypass Suez, passing through the tunnel north of town.
