Ancient Settlement in Sinai. Not far from the Ecolodge, on the way to wadi Feran via wadi Sahab, stand the ruins of a Nabatean village, dating from the 3rd-4th century AD. There are approximately 10 houses, store rooms and graves.
The entrances of the houses are low, partly to give maximum isolation against heat and cold.
