One of the best beaches to ever exist. Crystal clear water, white sand, beautiful corals, who can ask for more? Excellent coral reefs start 20 meters from the shore and extend onwards but actually the ones close to the Royal Tulip hotel where I stayed were better. Nice shaded areas managed by the local Bedouins serving tea and coffee. There are bathrooms but no showers.

Me, my friend & our taxi driver had the entire beach for ourselves. Don't forget to bring drinks, towels, snacks, sunscreen... there is literally nothing & nobody but the crystal clear beach and 1 sun shade hut.

Please have in mind, you cannot swim here without special permission. In case you plan to come by yourself, this unlikely will work. You will need a boat to get somewhere to see the riff. There is another beach Ras Hankarab, where you can pay 5 EUR per Person for entrance and 5 EUR for car. You get for this access to the toilet, parking and soma shade with soft pillows on the ground.
