Taba-Nuweiba Coastline, Sinai, Egypt 2014 - 2021
These photographs document the Taba–Nuweiba coastline in Sinai, Egypt, between 2014 and 2021, depicting abandoned hotel resorts alongside Bedouin-run beach camps.
The abandoned resorts are shaped by a vacation economy grounded in speculation and collapse. The camps persist through sustained connection to land: family-run and embedded within Bedouin social structures, tied to fishing, guiding, and hospitality. Built on ancestral or customary land, often without formal deeds, they represent a parallel tourism economy grounded in lived use rather than profit alone.
Together, these sites expose the uneven conditions under which land is claimed, developed, and erased.
