It’s quite common nowadays to stumble upon a lot of people who left their lives in the big cities and moved to smaller towns. Many Egyptians have always been moving to places like Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada and the whole thing is not new to us, but they always moved to work in tourism, However, quitting one’s old job and settling for a simpler life has become a trend in the recent years. Out of all the places where many people decided to move to; like Gouna, we couldn’t help but notice that there was quite a demand on Sinai. So if you’re sick of your hectic life in the city and you’re having second thoughts about it, here are 11 reasons why you should move to Sinai.

2. THE BEACH!

This one explains itself quite well … If you’re Cairene. However, if you’re from Alexandria, well, this beach is cleaner and most importantly, MORE ACCESSIBLE!

3. Zero Traffic

No more getting stuck in traffic for hours, no more struggling with getting from October to New Cairo on time, and definitely you’ll no longer have to cry over the exit you missed on Daa’ery. Time is money and if you’re planning on wasting it, then better spend it on your way from Dahab to Nuweiba. After all, this will require less time than your daily ride to and from work.

4. It’s cheaper

6. The work environment

In Sinai, you’ll get in contact with a lot of foreigners and a lot of bedouin communities. So other than making friends from all over the world, this place is a pool of cultural exchange. Need I say more?

9. The community

The community
Via Catherine Exists

One of the things we all dread the most is the judgmental society. In smaller communities no one will really care about what you’re doing with your life as long as you’re not harming others. As people there are used to dealing with different cultures, they learned to accept and embrace change. People there also care for the environment, mainly because the tough desert life taught Bedouins more about scarcity. So if you drop litter; like it has become the norm in the city, you’ll actually be looked down on.

10. You’ll be healthier

Your mental health will also be affected as your surroundings and the amount of positive vibes will leave no room for depression and anxiety.
