The Moon Island restaurant is open-air, serves a broad menu that can handle picky children and international adult palates simultaneously. The BBQ area is available for guests who want to cook their own evening meal. Heated showers confirmed — relevant in winter months.
A small pool sits at the center of the camp, crucial for families with children who might be nervous around the open reef. The terrain is flat and paved — stroller-friendly, easy for older guests. Free parking on-site. One of the few camps in the area that explicitly welcomes pets.
Accommodation is in concrete bungalows with solid roofs — better insulation and soundproofing than bamboo huts.
New Moon sits on a flat stretch of coast at Ras Shitan, 12km along the Taba road. The beach is wide and safe — the flat terrain matters when you have children running in every direction. Every room faces the sea, with private balconies on the water side.
The view is the standard Sinai panorama: Gulf of Aqaba in the foreground, Saudi mountains across it, the sky unreasonably large. What New Moon adds is that you can actually relax while looking at it.
Breakfast at the restaurant with the family. Kids in the pool while adults find a spot on the beach. The front desk can sort a safari to the Colored Canyon for the afternoon.
Evening: BBQ with the group, or a big meal at the restaurant. The camp is social and easy. The day ends when the children decide it does.
New Moon is run day-to-day by a local team that understands what families actually need: hot water for baby formula, extra beds arranged without fuss, day trips to the Colored Canyon organized from the front desk. Sarah and the team are frequently named in reviews as the reason guests come back.
The hosting style is service-first. You know where to find them, and they know what you need before you ask.
