Remote and desperate forlorn looking place . Beautiful colored water and some reefs .. If you like very rustic places , enjoy.. Otherwise pass ..

One The best beaches to just chill and enjoy the sea or just do absolutely nothing. My favourite in all of Marsa Alam. The snorkeling is not good (there other places for that) but the proximity to the water and a good restaurant in front is just what you need to unwind.

The place is incredible, with a wonderful sea. The area is very quiet and not too crowded. The beach is beautiful and well-equipped. In front, there is a shallow, transparent sea, and there is the possibility to snorkel in the coral reef. The people working there are very kind. It's slightly outside Marsa Alam, but easy to reach by taxi. If you want, they also offer lunch and various on-site experiences that are worthwhile. We really enjoyed spending the day here, it's a highly recommended place.

Very nice vibes and bédouin style with tea on the beach and very very kind and nice owners in a well organized project. We had a good swim, a stunning sunset and some chill time

Incredible place with the touch of nature, amazing reef and delicious food. Not crowded with tourists. Lovely for those who want to escape from the hectic life.
