Geocache Description:


Dekel Beach is nice clean beach which offers an authentic Bedouin experience as well as beach games (football and volley ball), a playground for children, and a floating tanning raft. It is located in front of the navel sea base on the south shore, near the Rafi Nelson monument. Rafi was a glossed eye, colorful personally, wearing cowboy hats.

After the Yom Kipur war (1973) Rafi built the Nelson village on the Taba Beach. It had a bar with a few straw tent. He put a piano on the water and hired Bedouin entertainers and musicians. You would often see politicians and businessmen visit in order to "clear their heads" at village. Rafi was a former journalist and public relation man before becoming the owner of the beachfront resort. Taba beach was returned to Egypt the day after Rafi died (February 1989).
