Al Magarra Camp

Ras Shitan

The Story

Al Magarra is one of those rare camps where everything feels quietly intentional. Tucked between the mountains and the Red Sea, it is family-run and deeply personal.

Misho has been here for more than 30 years, shaping the camp with patience and vision. A bit more than a decade ago, Rana joined him, and together they built their paradise by the sea—a place where their care shows in every detail. What began as a handful of simple Sinai huts has grown into a camp known for its warmth, cleanliness, and nourishing food.

The heart of Al Magarra lies not in luxury, but in detail: the way rooms are kept fresh and neat, the way a meal is adjusted for each guest, the way Misho and Rana remember your name and your needs. For many travelers, it feels less like checking into a lodge and more like being welcomed into a home.

Al Magarra isn’t trying to be iconic or trendy—it simply is. A space of care, simplicity, and deep respect for land and people.

Why It’s Ecological

Al Magarra doesn’t market itself loudly as “eco”—it lives it, day to day:

• Natural Simplicity: Huts built in the old Sinai style, using local, low-impact materials, blending with the beach rather than competing with it.
• Attention to Care: Shared bathrooms and spaces are kept impeccably clean, a form of respect for guests and the environment alike.
• Home-Grown Food Culture: Meals are freshly prepared, with vegetarian and vegan options, honoring seasonality and health. Nothing wasted, everything considered.
• Low-Impact Rhythm: No loud music, no artificial excess. Nights are lit by stars and gentle lamps, mornings by sea light.
• Community Spirit: By choosing Al Magarra, guests join a slower, more reciprocal way of traveling—one rooted in presence, gratitude, and simplicity.

Here, ecology is not a label; it’s the natural outcome of living carefully.
