Ein Umm Ahmed

One of the most precious and lush desert locales in the Sinai is Ein Umm Ahmed. Translated from Arabic, Ein Umm Ahmed means "spring of the mother of Ahmed". 

This oasis spans along a wadi filled with life. The abundance of fruit trees bearing lemons, olives, figs and dates is overwhelming in this remote location in the desert.  A complete vegetable garden with tomatoes, basil and mint is witness to the abundance of water. The oasis is bursting with flora, fauna and birds. The spring and bountiful water supply are a welcome relief for all desert travelers.

The oasis of Ein Umm Ahmed is inhabited by local Bedouins, who are always interested in seeing a visitor, have a tea and show off this amazing location.

It is advisable to take a guide from either Nuweiba or Dahab to Ein Umm Ahmed, as there are many interesting spots to check out along the way.
