Camel Bar and Restaurant

Camel Bar and Restaurant is a casual bar-restaurant attached to the Camel Dive Club and Hotel in Naama Bay, Sharm El Sheikh, in Egypt's South Sinai Governorate. Camel Dive Club is one of the longest-established dive operators in the resort, and the bar and restaurant serve as a social base for divers, snorkellers and other visitors who gather between trips on the Red Sea. The setting is relaxed and unpretentious, aimed at people in shorts and sandals rather than dressed-up diners.

The menu is international, with comfort food at the centre. Burgers are the listed specialty, served with fries and salad, while grilled fish provides a lighter option that reflects the coastal location. Pizza, sandwiches, salads and pasta fill out the card, along with breakfast-style dishes and snacks through the day. Prices are mid-range ($$) for Naama Bay, and a burger with a drink is a reasonable value meal in a resort district where prices can climb.

The atmosphere is easygoing and social, with diving talk, music at conversational levels and a mix of hotel guests and passing visitors. There is no dress code. The venue is open daily from about 10:00 until midnight, covering late breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening drinks. As a bar, it serves a range of beverages, though alcohol availability is subject to local licensing and visitors should check. Soft drinks, coffee, tea and juices are always on offer.

Walk-in service is normal and reservations are rarely required, although groups may prefer to call ahead on busy evenings in high season from October to April. The Naama Bay location, near the promenade and many hotels, makes the bar convenient for post-dive meals and for evenings without a long walk back to the hotel.
