Racism is a serious problem here, whether you're Egyptian or foreign. If you're Egyptian, you're likely to be disrespected to your face; if you're foreign, it's done behind your back. I had a very disappointing experience with lifeguards; they treated me and my family with blatant disrespect, clearly based on discrimination against us because we weren't white. When we raised the issue with the beach managers, we were ignored and told we weren't real, our reality was distorted. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. If I could give it less than one star, I would.

We went there with high expectations because of the positive reviews, but I don't want anyone else to be fooled like we were. My family and I experienced something I don't even know how to describe. I didn't realize you could face racism in your own country simply because you're not white and speak a different language. The staff were incredibly rude, and even impossible to apologize to; they might even call you a liar. They spoke without any courtesy. Also, if you're not Egyptian, there's a very high chance someone will insult you and you won't understand. While the place itself is nice, I will never go there again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

It's a beautiful little place, quiet (when the Italians aren't arguing and trying to kill each other). There are many different species of fish in the water, a beautiful reef. We even saw a stingray. The sun loungers are very clean and comfortable. There are a few cats around. It's a great place to watch the sunset. The entrance fee was 150 Egyptian pounds per person - judging by the reviews, they set the entrance fee however they want.

Very beautiful beach. The staff is very friendly. The panorama is amazing and the coral wall is amazing.

It's a beautiful coral reef but not suitable for children or swimmers who want to relax while standing in the sea. Good music, nice view... but nice sun loungers and great service are only for foreigners... I felt unwelcome... Entrance fee is 200 per person.
