Diving & Beautiful Sandy Beaches
A small, picturesque resort town on the Red Sea coast, surrounded by desert and located about 60 km south of Hurghada.
Its crystal-clear waters and remarkable coral reefs — Ras Abu Soma, Shoab Shear, and the famous Tobia Shoab — draw diving enthusiasts from around the world.
The town is also known for its distinctive mineral-rich sand, attracting visitors interested in wellness and relaxation. If you have a reliable source specifically supporting the therapeutic/mineral properties, you can make that claim more specific.
The main hotel area is located around Lotus Bay, north of the harbor district.
