Accommodation is found in settlements at the beginning and end of the Sinai Trail. Towns like St Katherine and Nuweiba have everything from Bedouin beach camps to hotels, and monastery guesthouses. The highlands of St. Katherine are home to a network of Bedouin orchards, some of which offer lodgings to hikers. Some of these orchards date back to Byzantine times and although they are basic, usually offering no more than a space in an old stone hut, perhaps with an outside toilet, they give hikers a point of contact with working hubs of Bedouin culture. Bedouin camp can be found at Ein Hudera: an oasis at the mid way point of the trail. Hikers can sometimes pitch tents next to Bedouin homes, with the families preparing meals and giving water for a small fee. On the Sinai Trail itself, often the only option is to sleep under the stars.
