Abu Zenima

 


Abu Zenima is a very small town on the coast along the main Cairo- Sharm road with a few shops, cafés, restaurants and possibly basic accommodation. Near the town is the turn off to Serabit el Khadim. You can organise a 4×4 vehicle with Sheikh Barakat’s family at their office in the Desert Falcon Restaurant, and possibly at the other cafés.

Photos were taken in April 2010, except the last one which is created in December 2009.
