Insider tip — Hammam Pharaoun is one of the most dramatic natural hot springs on the Sinai Peninsula, gushing directly from a cliff face at the edge of the Red Sea at scorching temperatures near 70°C. The water must be diluted with seawater in rock pools before bathing — locals wade in at pools where the temperature drops to a tolerable 40°C. The sulfurous steam rising against the desert mountains at sunrise creates an otherworldly atmosphere. Accessible only by 4WD or boat along the Gulf of Suez coast.
