One of the most unique places you'll visit in Israel. There are many beautiful along the lake and campsites.

Sea of Galilee aka Lake Tiberias. Is the famous lake where JESUS walked on it and also calmed the storm. It’s also the lowest fresh water lake on earth. Peaceful lake indeed and breeze was so cool.

An amazing place to see with my own eyes. I read all about this place and Jesus' ministry here. I also enjoyed sailing on the Sea of Galilee. Luckily, it was a calm and beautiful day.

The Sea of Galilee is one of my favorite spots in Israel. This is a spot where you really feel the presence of Jesus.

This is one of my best experiences in Israel, you will be enthuse and captivated if you ever visit this area, especially if you’re of the Christian faith. Take a tour one day and go experience a little of history.

"Cruise on the Sea of Galilee"‎ Went on a sruise on Sea Of Galilee. At the jetty came across a novel feature. It is a floating bridge jetty. To board the boats safely and comfortably, Its height can either be lowered or raises depending the level of the sea of Galilee Boarded Cruise boat Noah. As soon as we left the jetty. Indian national flag was brought to be hoisted on the Boat mast. I was given the honour to hoist. The whole group, spontaneously started singing National Anthem. Everyone felt elated and happy. I thought a very nice business idea to set the mood of tourists well disposed towards the cruise company. Returned after about an hour's cruise. During the cruise there was loud music from Indian movies people were dancing and enjoying noisily and thoroughly. Hardly anyone looked out at the scenery nor enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere on the waters of sea of Galilee, Felt sad at missed opportunity.

We're a group of pilgrims from the Philippines🇵🇭. We're happy to have experienced sailing on a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee. A good and unforgettable experience for all of us. The skipper even taught us some dance steps while sailing. After the boat ride, all of us were given a certificate that we had survived the trip. It's one for the books. It's a good thing the weather cooperated with us, so sailing was a breeze.

Very nice museum. It has the biggest Mosaic collection in the world. Plan to spend at least 2.5 to 3 hours. It has a nice cafe to relax inside the museum as you exit. Parking was an issue for us. Besides the amazing mosaics spend some time at th sarcofagus section.

I couldn't imagine the amount of historical and archiological findings in this area. The museum was a trip to the history of the rigion. Amazing collection pf mosaic and marble sculptures. It is a must to see for Hatay visitors. Update: more sections are opened, and more mosaic is in display.

One of the great museums you can ever visit, huge and divers collection. Can't be missed if you in Antakya visting it is a must. However, it needs minimum two hours so make sure you have enough time when you go there.

An excellent museum with displays relating to all historic times. The collection of mosaics are incredible and there are some very well preserved sarcophagus. Well worth a detour to visit, also do not miss the the Hotel museum

One of the very most important museum in Turkey. It represent the life of the caveman and the life of the mythological histories.. There are lots of articles and objects belong to that lifetime and history. Make sure you hear all the history of the items. Dont miss it.. Also dont miss the "live your life" Mosaic..

The museum was moved last year to here. Previous place of this museum was in city centre but not big enough but new place is more bigger but far from city centre. I love the chronological path in the museum first path starts with cage life of humans and ends with modern day. Mosaics are well preserved and mosaics were like photographs. The only disadvantage of this path I couldn't find path milestones as described it was complex for me to understand how designated path goes. I started area 1 and I found myself at area 13 after 30 minutes but I think that was my fault that's why I give 5 star. When you see 480p resolution mosaics you understand why I gave star.

An impressive museum with a variety of exhibits about the area's very old history. I have been to many museums in Europe and this one could easily be in one of its capitals. The finds from the Hittite period are particularly impressive, as is the quality and massiveness of the mosaics from the Roman period. Worth it!

A small port, not very spectacular. A mix of small boats, pleasure and fishing. On the shore several restaurants with terraces. Not very crowded, around 2:00 PM. The area looks decent, seems recently renovated. In the immediate vicinity is the castle, in a rather bad condition.

The harbour is beautiful. You can walk all the way round the harbour and past the castle. There are some lovely shops, bars and restaurants, we found a great rooftop bar for cocktails and beers with views over the harbour. Definitely spend half a day wandering round and exploring the side streets that lead off the harbour. On our previous visit we took a boat trip along the coast which is also beautiful.

Beautiful place . So atmospheric. The food is out of this world .

Great place to relax and people watch. Numerous cafes and restaurants.

Underrated harbour This peaceful place reminds me of portofino a very well known harbour in north Italy Only it’s nicer and the food is great

This is a very beautiful place. A piece of Cyprus's history. Every turist in North Cyprus should visit this place.

Gorgeous place to visit. Unlimited restaurants. Great shops. Boat tours. Castle tours. Pretty much a full day out. Upmarket seaside bars and casinos. Lots to do and see. Extremely hot in the summer though so remember the sun tan lotion. Well worth a visit.

I've been once before as a teen and brought my partner with me this time. We enjoyed it very much! The walk up is very long and tiring, definitely take a breather now and then when climbing up the stairs to get to the peak. Beautiful views and well preserved. Only downside is that the Turkish Army closed it down early the day we went for something so we did rush a little.

Beautiful place. Shame that people don’t respect the no smoking and no littering signs. Also be wary of cafe .. asked for a Turkish coffee as had just seen them make one .. only to be told no.. only coffee available is from the espresso machine at €3 a cup. On leaving saw more customers having Turkish coffee.. definitely feel like it was a ‘tourist tax’ .. ..so be warned 😡

We got in just nefore 3pm and we're told to get down to the ticket office by 4pm. Tho on the outside signboard it says last entray 4.30pm That's apparently not the case today. This seems to do with it being part of the military base So changes to opening time can occur at anytime without notice. The view was really pretty we first went to john's church/chapel then we went to the peak 734m above sea level. The walk up there was not hard. I'd rate it medium difficulty tops. The road is a bit uneven and can be slippery after rains So make sure you wear proper shoes for that. We got to the top around 3.35 So 30-35min is enough for a person who is moderately fit to get up and we got down just before 4pm. Made a few other stops to see the beautiful queens' window too. We didn't visit the cistern next to the beautiful Windows unfortunately as we ran out of time. I think 1.5-2hrs is probably good for here. 1hr is a bit short. There doesn't seem to be public transport here whatsoever. We got a taxi up there and when to the monastery then back to town for 70euros...

Lots of people have wondered how accessible it is for older, less abled folks to access the castle. I visited yesterday & I am 71. Yes I am very fit for my age but for such an awesome setting do NOT let other misleading reviews stop you going. The castle is easily accessed from the car park where a little cafe is located. It's currently,50 tl entrance (just over a £1) & even just inside there is the most incredible view of Kyrenia. The steps for levels 1 & 2 are perfectly adequate & not very tough (see pictures) if you do not venture inside the first lookout towers which are more of a challenge. The are some awesome things to see within the first two levels like the Byzantine Church. There is also a super little cafe with an amazing view of the north coast at Kyrenia, selling their refreshing lemonade (& mocktails) & a small selection of small gifts & postcards. Now there is the third level to explore & I spent 90 mins on that level it's astounding! Again see pictures of steps & now I would say you have to be reasonably fit or very determined if a slow ascent is within your capabilities. There are astounding parts like the royal apartments with amazing views but the higher up you go the more arduous it gets until the pinnacle of the summit at 732m. some 333' higher than the car park. Steps are a lot more uneven but with care & a firm grip of the handrails it's achievable. Various pictures illustrate some of my descriptions. Some reviews talk about unstable poor handrails, this is not the case they were all solid & firm & reassuring. Some people describe litter plastic bottles etc. Well the castle has provided loads of do not litter, pop in a bin signs but there will always be the mindless uncaring idiots who ignore this, don't let it distract you off visiting. It's an awesome feat of human achievement to the highest level & it has been there a 1000 years. The road 3 miles from the dual carriageway can be accessed from the dual carriageway in either direction despite what Google maps might show (I came from Kyrenia & turned right) & the road shows a few hairpin bends, again don't let this put you off, they are wide & easily driven. What more can I say except done let a visit pass you by if you are anywhere near. Allow 4 hours if you want to visit & photograph every nook & cranny! Hope the photos help you make the right decision, Go Go Go, it's awesome!

Well worth visiting, magnificent views, but you need to be reasonably fit to make the climb. You need good balance. Not for children under 12 yrs of age.

Worth a visit. Entrance cheap 1 eur. Takes 2 hours at least to see all, so don't expect to see and go quickly. Enjoy and feel. Lot of hiking - which is good, but even old people made it..

Beautiful. The hike to the top might be challenging for some people but well worth it for the fantastic views. Wear shoes with good grip. Probably our favourite spot on Cyprus.

A beautiful ruins to look around. We did a tour which we found informative whilst walking around and appreciating the architecture of the building and ground. Finish off our visit with a fresh cold drink at the cafe by the entrance. 8 minute walk uphill from the car park where our coach dropped us off.

Worth a visit for sure. Parking may be tricky but great gothic half ruined architecture. The mountain backdrop makes for a dramatic scene. You can see everything in about half an hour

The ruins of a former monastery. They still house a small church. All in all, nothing "wow"... The area is beautiful, clean, full of greenery and flowers. In addition, from the monastery courtyard you have a very beautiful panorama, with the sea and Kyrenia visible in the distance. There is also a restaurant, adjacent to the monastery.

Bit different from the normal ruins. The restaurant, bar and cafe is attached to the abbey so I felt a bit strange but it's a popular place for locals because of that. Therefore there is shuttle bus service, 30 TL for a single ticket, very easy access and a nice view. There are nice hotels and restaurants. You can take a bus from a big parking space. There's some signboards there.

Walking around Ballapais monetary, there was no audio guide or tour guide available to purchase on the day. You just walk around yourself. Tickets are available to purchase on the day and parking was available. A few of cafes and restaurants near by to enjoy afterwards.

It's amazing place to visit around Girne. It has great architecture and nice place for photography.

It has amazing views. Interesting ruins to walk around - lots of stairs to see everything. Inexpensive to enter. Not much information about the building.

Probably one of the most beautiful and charming beaches in the island, parking nearby is available. You need to be there early if you want to get a sunbed and umbrella otherwise improvise a place in the shade.

Excelent, Clean, organized by municipality, sandy beach with superb blue water. 7,5 euro 2 sunbeds+umbrelă.

A wonderful beach with crystal-clear, uniquely turquoise water and white sand. You can relax passively while sunbathing or enjoy active leisure with pedal boats, small boats, and more.

Absolutely beautiful beach! The sand is soft and golden, and the water is crystal clear with the most amazing turquoise color — it honestly feels like the Caribbean. The sea stays shallow for a long distance, which makes it perfect for families with kids. There are plenty of facilities — clean toilets, showers, sunbeds, umbrellas, cafés, and water sports (SUP, kayaks, parasailing). Everything is well maintained, and the atmosphere is relaxed yet lively. It can get quite crowded during summer weekends, so it’s best to come early in the morning. The small island a few meters offshore is great for swimming or snorkeling.

Beautiful place. Excellent water sports. We purchased our food and refreshments from a nearby supermarket and took them to the beach ⛱️.

This was one of my favorite beach on the whole island! very clear water and blue. Very fun for snorkeling nead the fig tree beach island

Great beach at the centre of Protaras. Clear, cristal water. There is a place for watersports. You will enjoy!

Great water Park, small enough to get around to all the slides and attractions. Clean, good selection of food and drinks. We hired the Cabana for an extra 50 euros which was well worth it, loads of beds available around the park though. Lockers available at the entrance and photos taken throughout the day which you can purchase at the end. There is a carpark, bus stop and taxi rank just outside the park. We had a fab day.

Some really good water rides with different levels for all ages. A large pool area with a wave machine. The park is in need of updating in my view but would still visit again. Our ticket (bought on line) enabled us to visit twice so we felt was value for money.

Great day out for the family. Water based fun for all ages from great areas for small children and toddlers and a good variety of slides and rides for adults, including some really high fast drops. Went midweek in May and pretty much no wait on any of the rides. It has a wave machine in the main pool and a few other smaller pools dotted around the park. There are lots of options for food and refreshments, not too expensive. Recommend getting a Cabana, which comes with its little safe box. Its not cheap, I think it was €50 but is great for kids especially to have a lie down or snooze during the day. 4 stars as its a bit on the pricey side even with the discounted junior (2 - 12) tickets €28 and kids under 2 having free entrance.

Visited on a weekday as a group of four adults. Staff are an absolute asset to the venue they were all exceptionally friendly, on the ball and consistently acting in an assurance of safety. The rides themselves were diverse, exciting and for us there were next to no queues. MC Mike who ran the "games" i.e. spin the wheel etc was a joy and made for great entertainment. Food and drink was fairly priced. I cannot fault our experience we had the absolute best time and spent the whole day here without getting bored. My only feedback would be that some areas need a repaint just to freshen it up. I don't think you'll disappointed though. In addition they have refigerated storage for your packed lunch if you wish to take this you can then get a pass to leave and eat outside of the venue on designated picnic area. We thought this was a amazing touch and wish that more venues offer refrigeration/picnic.

Worth it for a day of fun, but some things can be improved. Positive is the multitude of lifeguards who give you the necessary safety for your children and the entire staff from the entrance to the terraces and restaurants. Affordable prices and the fact that you can find something for all tastes. Maybe some new sun loungers and more non-slip mats on the floor.

Great fun for a reasonable price. All rides were fun and it was not crowded. Lots of entertaining activities for the kids. Very clean and well staffed with decent restaurants.

A really great park for families. Beautiful landscaping and cypris atmosphire. Beds and shade everywhere. Great slides with good guides. Very clean and well maintained. Very good food and drinks service.

Nice beach, 2 sunbeds and an umbrella 7.5€ which is very acceptable. Coffee and water around 7€, there are couple of stores nearby on the main road with acceptable prices, beer 1.8€, snacks 1.4€. Must visit if in Cyprus

Was here off season - April Enjoyed my time so much No crowds Water crystal clear Sunbed prices are regulated 2.5e per bed just like on the rest of the island there is no overprice for being the most popular beach I see how it can be an issue in season due to crowds but you just have to pick your time to enjoy

Don’t get me wrong, it is a nice beach and has a beautiful sea but it surrounded by hotels and packed. If you are a person who likes calm beaches without people, avoid this one or avoid Ayia Napa alltogether. It is crowded even in mid October.

Very nice beach, in the begining of November, not too busy, can get sun beds pretty easy (2.5 eur per bed) and parking is 4 eur full day. Beach bar works and have pretty good food, slightly more expensive than everywhere else.

Wonderful beach! The water is crystal clear and the weather was perfect, not windy at all. We visited in mid October and it was still quite busy, so I can only imagine how crowded it gets during the peak summer months. Definitely a must visit spot! Don’t miss out on having a piña colada served in a pineapple.

Beautiful local beach. Cristal clear water, sandy beach, restaurants and beach bars are available. Sunbeds are 2.5e as in while Cyprus. There is volleyball court on the beach.

One of the best beaches in Europe. Beautiful sand and water. Plenty of bars. Reachable by bus and 5 min walk. Easy spend a day here. One of the best places in Cyprus. Always a winner. Never disappoints. Must see. Work a trip even if on other side of island or Pahpos.

Good beach for kids, nice sand and shallow water. Toilet is free, but shower cost 50cents. Almost no disturbance from people trying to sell you something.

Very good - this is a really safe beach for kids, with nice sand and fairly shallow water. The toilet is free (hurray) but the shower cost is about 50c. It can get quite crowded but the there is little hassle from people trying to sell you something. It can get really hot - so take or hire shade.

It's a wonderful beach. The location is perfect. There are restaurants, places to stay, and an amusement park nearby. It's a great beach for a family vacation.

No sand, only soil. Very dirty beach, not suitable for swimming or relaxing. Sunbeds are broken and in some places there are no umbrellas.

First beach in the closet proximity of Larnaca city center. Soft sand, clear water, and lot of restaurants with all the facilities. Public transport and intercity buses having stop here.

Central tourist area with many restaurants, big sandy beach and a nice promenade. Visit in the evening too.

Very dirty beach. People just leaving cigarettes on the sand. I've been here 6 years ago, it's nothing to compare. Please prohibit smoking on the beach and clean it. Uncomfortable sitting here.

From an architectural standpoint it’s a very pretty building and the interior is spectacular. I didn’t take any photos as I didn’t know if it was appropriate or not as it is an active church. But the paintings and reliefs inside are quite unique. And the building itself has a great history that’s interesting to learn about as someone who’s not tied to the Christian faith. The surrounding neighborhood is very quaint and has many good shops and restaurants/cafes.

This is amazing Church is a must visit if you are in the area. Beautiful structural architecture on the outside and inside to the amazing things you will see when you enter. If you can try and be covered up because there is a sign outside saying no shorts for men and women should ideally have their hair and shoulders covered but they do have robes for free on the outside to cover just in case you forget. Situated in the church are the most amazing icon pictures all over and the whole church is almost covered in gold. It is a particularly busy church with tourists in and out at all times. When you enter there is a lower two level where Lazarus bones used to be kept before they were moved, but his tomb still remains.

Hearing about this church and seeing some of the photos doesn’t really prepare you for the experience and history you are about to feel walking up to and inside this master of a monument. The outside is stunning, well preserved and sits on a lovely open space. When you enter it is very typical of a Greek church and lovely. Make sure you visit the tombs also under the church.

Travelled.fr9m.thw UK.for my friends wedding in this church. For me it will always be a place of great joy. It's a beautiful place to visit if you are in the area, just don't walk through the middle isle in yer t-shirts and flip flops when there are 250 of us in the .middle of a wedding ceremony lo

Beautiful church, very peaceful! We went there around at 1400 and it was closed. Advise to check the opening hours before you go. It opens in afternoon at 1530 but if you are there early, there are few souvenir shops that you can visit, enjoy lunch, take photographs, enough things to keep you occupied.

Visiting the Holy Church of Saint Lazarus was an unforgettable experience. I was deeply touched by the atmosphere and the spiritual energy of this sacred place. Bowing before the relics of Saint Lazarus filled me with peace and gratitude.

The holy church of Saint Lazarus in Larnaca is an old, lovely and holy church. It is a small church but beautiful from outside and inside. You can get inside the tomb as well.

A very nice place to visit preferrably after 5 pm in summer. Many options for dining, drinks and coffee. Adjacent is the old port as well. Some shopping storesare in back streets.

Limassol Marina is a great place to hang out and pretend to be a member of the Uber rich!! The yachts on show are amazing. Prices in the cafes are the same as anywhere else but it does feel that little big more special...highly recommend lunch here..

Very beautiful marina in Limassol. With plenty restaurants and coffee shops, it's definitely a nice place to visit and spend relaxing time with fiends and family. I'd recommend visiting this place if you are in Limassol ⛵💦

Very nice - for a stroll during the day or for dinner. There are many options for dining, drinks and coffee. Adjacent is the old port as well. Some shopping in back streets.

Lovely place , we traveled on the local bus from paphos for only 5 euros each way it took just over a hour and was really worth the visit beautiful little old town .

Amazing place to walk with a lot of coffee shops, restaurants & shops. Very close to Limassol castle, Agia Napa Church and old town.

The fabulous Marina Breeze at Limassol Marina was a meal to remember. Situated alongside the marina you can arrive by boat and moor up alongside or arrive in the normal manner on foot. This was the best meal of our holiday. Great service, classic and modern cocktails, and superb food together with an affordable wine list including local wines. They even give you bread to feed the fish in the harbour. A lovely unforgettable evening.

Very good waterpark. Food options inside are fast food like hot dogs, pizza and hamburger. They also have a few salads and wraps. Food is reasonably priced. Also lots of snack options. Recommend coming early if you want sun beds, but not really necessary since you don’t spend much time sitting anyways. They have lockers for rent inside the park. They are pretty small and a bit pricy. My only critique is that they could have done a better job separating tubes from different rides. Lots of people carried tubes from the slides into the lazy river creating a shortage of tubes. People were aggressively trying to take them from each other. The overall experience was still very good and highly recommend a visit.

Safety first. I don't understand the complaints from some people who leave bad reviews based on nonsense. Let's understand how much effort the staff puts into keeping customers safe, and you're complaining about cold pizza? I think the lifeguards are very well trained, and everyone who works there is very friendly and does their best. Warning signs are posted everywhere. Anyone complaining should also look at themselves and keep an eye out for potential danger. We had a wonderful day there with our family. It's a great place for children. We felt safe. I highly recommend it!

To begin, using GPS you can find the park very easily. We went on a Tuesday so there was plenty of free parking in their car park. Upon entrance nobody checked our back pack for food or drinks even though we did not bring any as we planned to eat at the Park. Once entered we rented out a locker for 7.00 euros but got back 2.50 upon key return. Its best you leave your caps, sunglasses and footwear in your locker as they don't allow any of these on the big slides keeping in mind it just about fits a back pack. Its been years since I last went on rollercoasters or water slides so it was an enjoyable day for me and the Mrs. A bit tiring going up the metal stairs barefoot carrying the rubber dinghy"s but we managed. The good thing was that there wasn't that many people like the weekends. We ate at Pirates cove, burger and wedges and coke for me which the burger was dry as they had been cooked and packaged and left on the rack. Greek salad, spring rolls,water melon, slush puppie, and water for the Mrs total 40euros. After lunch we went to the Garra Fish Spa we did 12mins each for 8 euros each which was quite pleasant as it was the first time I have tried this type of treatment. The young lady supervising advised us if we come again (the same day) she would give us a 50% discount 2nd time round. After that experience we went for a Gloria jeans for coffees, a hot cappuccino and an Ice latte 9.50 cents. Place is clean with lifeguards around the park. It is a nice day out from the norm so give it a go. Overall with the discounted tickets, food, drinks, it came to about 50 euros each person.

The park could be more organized. Food is quite expensive considering the entrance fee, and the variety is limited. They could collaborate with restaurants to offer better options. There are small stands for mini donuts, crepes, and drinks, but prices are high, and with only one van open of donuts, the line was huge. Overall, it’s a fun place for families, but cleaner pools, more family tubes, and better food options would make it much better.

Great waterpark but overpriced. 30eur for adults. 17eur for kids. Food and drinks inside are also overpriced especially for what you get. The burger in the picture is like €7 on its own.

This is the most heartbreaking review I’ve had to write, honestly this place has gone downhill so much! I’ve been coming here for years but this year was just so bad! It was absolutely packed, loads of sunbeds and umbrellas were broken, the queue to get in was manic, the tubes were really limited, there was a wait to get into lazy river because you’d have to wait for tubes, also the worst thing is, the wave pool you’re no longer allowed past the 1.60 mark, which is basically pointless for adults now, definitely not going back! Tried to buy tickets on line but there isn’t an option apart from memberships.

A big and fun waterpark near Limassol. Although it was full when we came it was still very pleasant, and lines were very fast so it was not noticed at all. A wide variety of slides and other attractions for all ages. The food and drinks are very reasonably priced too.

I visited the place again since I heard it's open wasn't bad!!! Just the boat ride was really short! Other than that give it a go parking 250LB . And entrance ticket 15$ per adult a lot but well. U can't take pics or anything inside the caves, just open area outside , overall upper part is better personally big and u get to walk and experience the rocks the feelings and all . Lower one wasn't much water is nice but too much fuss over short boat trip

Amazing! This is briefly what you can say about this majestic place. I visited the grotto several times in the past and this summer I wanted to let my kids to see it. They were extremely stunned by the cave and the incredible shapes of the stalagmites and stalactites. This place is a must see for any visitor to Lebanon. No pictures are allowed inside but nothing can depict what you see there in person.

I visited Jeita Grotto today, and it is truly one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen. The caves are stunning, with incredible natural formations and an underground river that feels magical to experience. The entire area is well-maintained, and the beauty inside is simply unforgettable. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was that phones and photos are not allowed inside the grotto. I feel it would be much better if visitors could take photos, as it would help promote this amazing site when shared with friends and family—more people would be inspired to come and see it for themselves. I also believe the area could feel a bit less commercial if they focused more on enhancing the natural charm of the surroundings rather than just coffee shops and restaurants. Still, overall, Jeita Grotto is an absolute must-visit in Lebanon—an experience you will never forget.

A natural wonder developped over millions of years inside the these beautiful mountains. A formation of Stalactites and Stalagmites, many in weird shapes such as Jelly Fish, Mushroom, etc. based on their shapes. There are 3 layers to visit, Upper, Middle and Lower. While Upper and Middle is on foot, the lower is on a short boat trip. The temperatures within are cool throughout the year, around 20degs, especially a relief in the hot summers. The Entrance fee is $15 and includes rides on a cable car, toy train and the boat. Staff is friendly. Photography is strictly prohibited and they go to lengths to stop it. The reasoning given behind it when questioned was unconvincing and the only reason I can think of it so to create a curiosity among people so that people visit it in person generating income. Nevertheless, a beautiful place to not miss in a life time

Immersion to the depthness of Mother Earth ( upper grotto- Last chamber with deep hole- inviting to meditation) Touristic attraction : Forbid cameras inside, but take pictures with flash for extra money Entrance fee 15 USD

A Very majestic place ! Both the upper and the lower grotto are very beautiful and worth the visit !

The cave was really nice, but the good things end there, staff would try to be friendly and offer to give you information so that you tip them, and the funny thing is that each one of them has a very different story with different dates, it seems like none of them knows anything about the cave. Tickets are very pricey and they also charge you when you enter the facility for parking. Cameras and phones are not allowed inside the cave (the workers say the light would damage the cave) while they have photo stands inside the cave with big flash lights so that you pay to take pictures, and they also have phones that you can rent out to take pictures since they don't let you take your phone inside, they touch your body everywhere to make sure of it. Overall the way things operate there really ruined the experience for me and I would never go back ever again.

Man oh man this place is absolutely mind blowing. When you walk in you can't imagine how huge it is but then you see it with your own eyes. Simply amazing

The temple of bacchus and surrounding ruins are an absolute wonder of engineering. Make sure to hire a guide because it will make your visit so much more enjoyable and you will learn so much. Photos can’t even begin to do it justice. If you get the chance, definitely visit!

A wonderful UNESCO world heritage site coming within the Baalbek Temple complex. Very well maintained and neat and clean. Check out the carving over the stone ceilings made back in the day, unbelievable

The Temple of Bacchus is truly incredible. Built around the 2nd century AD and dedicated to Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, it’s one of the best-preserved and largest Roman temples in the world..actually bigger than the Parthenon in Athens! The scale is incredible, with towering columns (almost 20 meters high) and beautifully detailed carvings. The whole site is quiet and not crowded, so you can really take your time exploring and taking photos. Walking through it feels like stepping back in time. Absolutely worth the trip if you’re visiting Baalbek or Lebanon.

I can't believe there is a temple in Lebanon that I knew was only in Greece! Lebanon will be a famous city!

Stepping into the Temple of Bacchus feels like entering a forgotten world. The sunlight through those giant columns, the silence, the scale — pure magic carved in stone

This whole site is incredible to visit. It's well maintained, plenty of shady spots. If you love history, Roman ruins, this is a very accessible spot to visit. Easily reached by car, taxi, or bus. Small tip: Dress appropriately for the culture, whether you agree or not. We noticed a situation that could have been avoided with better clothing choices.

One of the most unique places you'll visit in Israel. There are many beautiful along the lake and campsites.

Sea of Galilee aka Lake Tiberias. Is the famous lake where JESUS walked on it and also calmed the storm. It’s also the lowest fresh water lake on earth. Peaceful lake indeed and breeze was so cool.

An amazing place to see with my own eyes. I read all about this place and Jesus' ministry here. I also enjoyed sailing on the Sea of Galilee. Luckily, it was a calm and beautiful day.

The Sea of Galilee is one of my favorite spots in Israel. This is a spot where you really feel the presence of Jesus.

This is one of my best experiences in Israel, you will be enthuse and captivated if you ever visit this area, especially if you’re of the Christian faith. Take a tour one day and go experience a little of history.

"Cruise on the Sea of Galilee"‎ Went on a sruise on Sea Of Galilee. At the jetty came across a novel feature. It is a floating bridge jetty. To board the boats safely and comfortably, Its height can either be lowered or raises depending the level of the sea of Galilee Boarded Cruise boat Noah. As soon as we left the jetty. Indian national flag was brought to be hoisted on the Boat mast. I was given the honour to hoist. The whole group, spontaneously started singing National Anthem. Everyone felt elated and happy. I thought a very nice business idea to set the mood of tourists well disposed towards the cruise company. Returned after about an hour's cruise. During the cruise there was loud music from Indian movies people were dancing and enjoying noisily and thoroughly. Hardly anyone looked out at the scenery nor enjoyed the calm and serene atmosphere on the waters of sea of Galilee, Felt sad at missed opportunity.

We're a group of pilgrims from the Philippines🇵🇭. We're happy to have experienced sailing on a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee. A good and unforgettable experience for all of us. The skipper even taught us some dance steps while sailing. After the boat ride, all of us were given a certificate that we had survived the trip. It's one for the books. It's a good thing the weather cooperated with us, so sailing was a breeze.

Our visit was on day 1 of Jordan pass, quite cumbersome. Rest of the experience was great, thanks to our guide giving in depth details of multiple era of transition this site has witnessed. There is a small museum having locally recovered treasure, and it’s one the best range of museums articles to experience right at the place of its recovery.

Panoramic Views and Ancient History at the Amman Citadel.. Perched on one of Amman's highest hills, the Citadel offers a captivating blend of history and breathtaking views that you won't want to miss. It's a must-visit when in the city, providing a magnificent panoramic outlook that includes the iconic Roman Theatre nestled in the valley below. The contrast between the ancient ruins on the hill and the bustling, modern city stretching out below is simply stunning. The site itself is beautifully maintained, with clear pathways and well-preserved structures that give you a true sense of walking through history. The most striking of these is the Temple of Hercules. While only parts of the colossal statue remain—most notably a giant stone hand—they give you a powerful insight into the scale and ambition of Roman architecture. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for an incredible vantage point, the Citadel is a rewarding experience. It provides deep insights into the history of Amman, and you can easily explore it with or without a guide. The informational signs are excellent, but a guide can also bring the stories to life with more detailed historical context.

The Amman Citadel is one of those places that takes your breath away not just because of the views, but because of the history that surrounds you. The ancient ruins are incredible to walk through, from the Temple of Hercules to the Umayyad Palace. It’s amazing to stand among structures that have been there for thousands of years and imagine all the civilizations that once called this place home. What I loved most was the mix of beauty and serenity. Stray cats wander the site, lounging in the sun or following visitors around like little guides. The view from the top is absolutely stunning you can see all of Amman spread out below, a blend of old and new. There’s also a small but fascinating museum at the Citadel that holds artifacts dating back to prehistoric times. If you love history, culture, or just a good sunset view, this place is a must-visit.

Amazing place with incredible history and beautiful views over Amman! 🏛️✨ The ruins, like the Temple of Hercules and Umayyad Palace, are fascinating and well-preserved. Peaceful, not too crowded, and a must-visit spot in the city! 💛

The Amman Citadel is such a beautiful and historic place to visit. The ancient ruins are truly impressive, and the views overlooking the city are breathtaking. The area is well maintained, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. A must-see spot when visiting Amman!

Amman Citadel is an Archiological site which has ruins from various civilizations. The site has a long history and many historical landmarks, dating back from bronze age (1200 BCE), to Roman period, Byzantine period and Umayyaad period (661-750 CE) are there. The site was mostly abandoned afterwards until the late 19th century. The site is mostly in ruins now, but very interesting to visit it. Every important part is explained in boards in English and Arabic. The Jordan Archaeological Museum was on the Citadel hill has many beautiful collection of artifacts from all periods of history. Citadel is the most important part of Amman, must visit place.

Nice to walk around and have a look. The cafe was nice to sit down afterwards. But the people inside trying to sell things or try to trick you by insisting on guiding you or tell you «fun facts» then following you and asking for money ruins the mood abit.

Part of the Roman theater of Amman. I filmed here numerous times. I always enjoy the acoustics. The government needs to do more to boost this place and bring in more tourists.

this one is smaller and also used for events. the roman theatre is used for events as well

Loved the place! Such a magical historic location You can’t enter the theater unless their is a concert or an event Their is public area in front of the theater

The Odeon Theater or the Winter Theater is a small Roman amphitheater located in the center of the Jordanian capital, Amman, where the Great Roman Amphitheater is also located. It was built in the second century AD, before the construction of the Great Amphitheater, to accommodate about 500 spectators. The Odeon Theater was mainly used for musical performances. Archaeologists believe it may have been roofed with a wooden roof or temporary tent to protect the audience and performers from the weather. It is believed that the severe earthquake that struck the city of Amman and the regions of the Levant in 1927 was the main reason for the demolition of a large part of it, especially its high facade. The amphitheater and the surrounding area in the Hashemite Square have recently been restored, where concerts and poetry seminars are held today.

The Odeon is a small 500-seat theatre. Not to be confused with the large Roman Theatre that stands right next to it, on the southern side of the Hashemite Plaza, while the Odeon stands on the east side of the Plaza. Very nice, tidy and clean old ruins, that is kept in good shape.

Right next to the Roman theatre and a great deal smaller! Thought it wasn’t included in the Jordan Pass but the guard asked and we said we had it and got in for free. It’s a lot quieter than the Roman theatre - come here if you are avoiding the ruckus and keen on admiring the ancient Roman architecture.

This is like a compact version of the big Roman Theater next to it. But, it seems to be in better condition (restored?) and feels more welcoming. There are some funky acoustics if you stand at the center of the arena.

Mount Nebo it was a doing experience full of new information about the place and the views were perfect from that side of the church. God bless

Mount Nebo (where Prophet Musa AS viewed the Holy Land) to Al-Maghtas — is considered blessed land in the Qur’an: “Glory be to Him Who took His servant by night from Al-Masjid Al-Haram to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed.” — (Surah Al-Isra 17:1) • Scholars say “blessed surroundings” refers to the land of Jordan, Palestine, and Syria — the area of many prophets.

Ancient Mosaics to Dead Sea Views! Legendary spot linked to Moses’ last view of the Promised Land and panoramic views of the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea & Israel/Palestine on clear days! Beautiful mosaics and sculpture of the bronze serpent cross.. Peaceful church on the hilltop, great for photos One of Jordan’s most spiritual stops!

This place is magical. According to ancient pilgrims, the biblical Moses was supposed to have seen the Promised Land from Mount Nebo, which he was not destined to enter with the Israelite tribes. Today, the peak houses the Sanctuary of Moses, with an archaeological park cared for by the Franciscans of the Custody of the Holy Land. Excavations have shown that the first Christian sanctuary was built in the 4th century. The church contained a diaconate and a baptistery. Thanks to inscriptions discovered on mosaics, we know, among other things, the names of the artisans. John Paul II visited Mount Nebo during his 91st apostolic journey. The Pope planted an olive tree next to the remains of a Byzantine basilica.

A beautiful and peaceful site, top of the mountain with a view open to Dead Sea, river Jordan, Jerusalem and Palestine. The old church in renovated form is Morden but will well kept mosaic works. The serpentine sculpture symbolises Moses presence also resembles to kundalini awakening!

Mount Nebo is a historic and spiritual landmark in Jordan, believed to be the place where Prophet Moses glimpsed the Promised Land before his death. The site offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and even Jerusalem on clear days. It houses a 4th-century Byzantine church featuring stunning mosaics, including the famous serpent and vine motifs. Recently, archaeological excavations have revealed early Christian monasteries nearby, highlighting the area’s long-standing religious significance and making it a key destination for pilgrims and history enthusiasts alike

A Pilgrimage to Mount Nebo – Where Stones Speak and Silence Weeps On a golden morning, I journeyed to Mount Nebo with my beloved wife and daughters, our hearts light but our thoughts deep. There, on that ancient summit, we stood—witnesses to history, not through pages, but through the breath of the land itself. The monument, timeless and dignified, stands preserved in reverence—a sentinel of sacred memory, whispering echoes of a prophet’s final gaze. The ruins of Moses’ Memorial Church, worn by time yet mighty in meaning, spoke to us in solemn silence: that all things earthly are but sojourn, fleeting as the wind that dances across the stone. From the summit, we searched the horizon with quiet yearning, our eyes tracing the contours of Jerusalem, the shimmer of the Dead Sea, the soul of the Holy Land itself. We tried to grasp their sacred weight—these places that hold the prayers of centuries, and the tears of prophets. But as we stood in awe, another shadow clouded our hearts—a storm of sorrow. We thought of the innocents—the children, the mothers, the lives lost without mercy, and we searched deep within ourselves for understanding. But try as we might, we could not summon an ounce of empathy for the hands that shed blood in the name of power. Where holiness should inspire compassion, we saw only cruelty. On our way back, heavy with thought yet grateful for the journey, we paused at the mosaic museums—a final balm to the spirit. There, in tiny tesserae of color and craft, we saw a thousand silent prayers, captured in stone, frozen in time. Each mosaic whispered stories of devotion, of beauty, of a people who found solace in art. This was not just a visit—it was a meditation, a mourning, a moment of reverence. Mount Nebo didn’t just show us the land. It showed us ourselves.

A Sacred Gem of History and Faith Visiting the St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Madaba was a deeply moving experience. The moment I stepped inside, I felt a sense of peace and divine presence that words can hardly describe. The church is home to the famous 6th-century mosaic map of the Holy Land, a breathtaking piece of sacred art that beautifully connects history, faith, and geography. The priests and caretakers were warm and welcoming, happy to share the story of the church and its significance in Christianity. The atmosphere is serene — the scent of incense, the gentle flicker of candles, and the ancient walls seem to whisper prayers from centuries past. Whether you come as a pilgrim, a seeker of history, or simply a traveler drawn by curiosity, St. George’s Church offers a rare opportunity to feel the union of heaven and earth. It reminds us that faith transcends time and that sacred spaces still hold living energy. A must-visit for anyone exploring Jordan — not just for its history, but for the peace it brings to the heart.

The beautiful Madaba Map, a floor mosaic in the Church of St. George in Madaba, Jordan, depicts a map of the Middle East dating from the Byzantine period. The mosaic is the oldest cartographic representation of the Holy Land, including Jerusalem. It dates back to the 6th century and is truly impressive.

St. George's Church in Madaba is a revered pilgrimage site, famously housing one of the Holy Land's most precious treasures: the Madaba Mosaic Map. This magnificent 6th-century AD floor mosaic is the oldest surviving original map of the Holy Land, depicting the region from Lebanon to the Nile Delta. Crafted from over two million vividly colored stone pieces, it presents a detailed topographic view of hills, valleys, and towns, with Jerusalem as its stunning central focus. Originally part of a larger Byzantine basilica, the map served as a visual guide for pilgrims, uniquely blending biblical narrative with geographical reality. Its rediscovery in 1884 was a monumental event for archaeology and biblical studies. Today, this intricate masterpiece offers an unparalleled window into the ancient world, making the humble St. George's Church a priceless cultural and spiritual landmark.

The Church of the Map in Madaba, located in blessed Jordan. The Church of the Map is a Greek Orthodox church, famous for its mosaic map of the Holy Land—covering Palestine, Jordan, and Sinai—and dating back to the year 560 AD. The map is composed of over two million mosaic pieces and provides a vivid depiction of the natural landscape, as well as the topographical layout of cities and villages—up to 150 locations. It includes incredibly detailed elements, even down to streets and roads within cities. This mosaic map is considered one of the oldest discovered mosaic floors and the oldest original map of the Holy Land. The map stretches south to the Nile Delta, north to Sarafand in Lebanon, west to the Mediterranean Sea, and east to the city of Karak. Among the sites featured on the map are: 1. Jerusalem 2. Bethlehem 3. Hebron 4. Jericho 5. Karak 6. Mount Sinai 7. The Jordan River 8. The Nile River 9. The Mediterranean Sea 10. The Dead Sea

You need to buy a ticket to ender now worth 3 jod, cash, from the shop on the ruight side. The shop is disorganised, no queue, just a bunch of people near the register talking through one another. The mosaic inside is impressive.

A lovely Church with the oldest mosaic map in the world. Unfortunately the church was under renovation when we went so most of the artworks were not in place. The main one we got to see was the Map on the floor.

Amazing historic place! One of the oldest churches in Jordan, with the oldest mosaic map of th holly land.

In 73 or 74 CE, 960 Jewish zealots – men, women and children – ended there lives on top of the mountain of Masada by the Dead Sea in Israel rather than be captured by the Romans.Masada has been described as "a lozenge-shaped table-mountain" that is "lofty, isolated, and to all appearance impregnable".Historically, the fortress could be reached only by a single pathway that was too narrow for men to walk abreast. This pathway was named "the Snake" for the way it twists and zig-zags to the summit.Masada was named as the place where David rested after fleeing from his father-in-law, King Saul. Flavius Josephus, a Jew born and raised in Jerusalem, is the only historian to provide a detailed account of the First Jewish–Roman War and the only person who recorded what happened on Masada. After being captured during the Siege of Yodfat and then freed by Vespasian, Josephus chronicled the Roman campaign. Josephus presumably based his narration on the field commentaries of the Roman commanders. According to Josephus, Masada was first constructed by the Hasmoneans. Between 37 and 31 BC Herod the Great fortified it as a refuge for himself in the event of a revolt. In 66 AD, at the beginning of the First Jewish–Roman War, a group of Jewish extremists called the Sicarii overcame the Roman garrison of Masada and settled there. The Sicarii were commanded by Eleazar ben Ya'ir, and in 70 AD they were joined by additional Sicarii and their families expelled from Jerusalem by the Jewish population with whom the Sicarii were in conflict. Shortly thereafter, following the Roman siege of Jerusalem and subsequent destruction of the Second Temple, additional members of the Sicarii and many Jewish families fled Jerusalem and settled on the mountaintop, with the Sicarii using it as a refuge and base for raiding the surrounding countryside.[9] According to Josephus, on Passover, the Sicarii raided Ein Gedi, a nearby Jewish settlement, and killed 700 of its inhabitants. Archaeology indicates that the Sicarii modified some of the structures they found at Masada. These include a building that was modified to function as a synagogue. It may in fact have been a synagogue to begin with, although it did not contain a mikvah or the benches found in other early synagogues.[13] It is one of the oldest synagogues in Israel.

Visiting Masada National Park was an awe-inspiring experience that left me deeply moved by the rich history and breathtaking views. One of the highlights was witnessing the awe-inspiring sunrise from the fortress walls. The vibrant colors dancing across the Dead Sea, coupled with the peaceful silence of the desert, created a truly magical atmosphere. It was a moment that will forever be etched in my memory. Exploring the site, we marveled at the well-preserved structures, including the ancient synagogue, bathhouses, and the imposing palaces. The views from the summit were simply breathtaking, offering a breathtaking panorama of the desert landscape and the Dead Sea in the distance. Masada National Park’s commitment to preservation and conservation is evident throughout. The efforts to protect and restore this historical gem are commendable, allowing visitors to step back in time and appreciate the remarkable heritage that unfolds within these ancient walls. I highly recommend visiting Masada National Park to anyone with an interest in history, nature, or simply seeking a unique and memorable experience. The combination of historical significance, stunning landscapes, and a well-organized visitor experience make it a must-see destination. A trip to Masada National Park is an unforgettable journey that will leave you with a profound appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit and the natural beauty of the Israeli desert. Don’t miss this gem on your travels!

Wonderful place full of history. It's worth getting an audio guide to enhance the visit and understand what you are looking at. Incredible views. Could not take the footpath to go up because it was closed due to heavy rain fall, but that didn't spoil the visit.

How is it possible that in a UNESCO World Heritage site, there is not even a leaflet or a minimal map in English (in the ticket price + cable car ticket)? Only in Hebrew, obviously for a fee, or some brochures in English at an extra cost... Total disappointment and shame!

One of my favorite National Park in Israel. No trip to Israel is complete without visiting this place. It is filled with so much history with a breathtaking view of the Dead Sea. The best time to visit is sunrise. This is a place that is usually very busy on weekends so it is advisable to schedule your arrival during the week. There are a few ways to get up: 1. Snake path - This is the long path up to the mountain. •Length: The route climbs to a height of 350 meters, and is 2.7 Km long. •Opens for ascent every day one hour before Sunrise and closes for descent one hour before closing time. •On very hot days the Snake Path ascent closes at 09:00AM and the descent closes at 10:00AM. When heat is extreme, the Snake Path ascent closes at 08:00 and the decent closes at 09:00. The descent via the Roman Ramp is open as usual. 2. The Roman ramp path - This is the short path. Starting point: West entrance. •Length: 0.7 Kilometers 3. Cable car - A round trip by cable car will cost 23$. • You need to make a reservation! •Starts working at 8AM!

Great national park to learn about the history of Masada! You can either hike up or take the cable car to the top from the visitor center. Signed placards around the area tell you about the history. There’s also a museum on the premises to learn even more. Also a gift shop and food in the visitor center. Very cool visit!

A visit to the Masada National Park is a must for history enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those seeking a deeper understanding of Jewish history. The combination of its historical significance, archaeological wonders, and stunning natural beauty make it a truly unique destination. Just make sure to plan your visit well, wear comfortable shoes, and bring plenty of water, especially during the hot summer months.

Very beautiful. The sea had the fresh temperature in February. I recommend to take shoes to the water, because there are sharp crystals of salt. There is not any mud, you can buy in the shopping mall. There are very good high pressure showers. We visited in a time, when the marathon was planned.

Today I Went Out For A Day Of Bonding On Behalf Of Work, Among Other Things I Sat On The Dead Sea And It Was Mush, An Experience I Have Not Yet Experienced To This Day. Very Interesting Impressions From The Dead Sea: It Is Not Possible To Go To The Bottom... I Can Stay In Every Point Of The Sea Surface - Being Vertical Without Moving And Without Touching The Bottom.

Surreal experience. Beautiful sea. Picturesque. Definitely cannot stay in sea more than a few minutes due to high level of salt content. So very thankful that we were able to visit and experience this rich historical site.

The only way to reach the free public beach is through the Dead Sea Hotel. The hotel charges you 15JD for doing so. This lets you also use their change rooms and showers. If you want to use one of their towels they charge you 3 JD extra and again if you want to use a locker. The beach area is small with limited seats. The beach is a stony beach so it’s tough to walk on. You will be able to pick up giant salt crystals. The best way to enter is to float in on your back, you won’t sink. You must be careful not to get any of the water in your eyes or mouth. They have 3 big buckets of mud and you can cover yourself in it. Then stand in the sun to dry off. Once your dry go back in the sea to wash off. Your skin will become so soft. You must use the showers on the beach afterwards to make sure you get rid of the salt. The sunset is amazing the light on the water is beautiful.

For backpacker's tip Number one: bring your own food,you can sit here enjoying after swimming Number two: do NOT swim, make sure the water not splash to your eyes, otherwise you'll feel it so much hurt, if you get it unfortunately, go to shower directly, they have place for you to shower. Number three: the bathroom in the shopping center cost 2 shekels, so you could go to the hotel or the beach to use it for free.

the hotel in Dead sea is expensive so I did not stay over night. Beach is special, free swimming, shower, drinking water. You can take a tent to camping. I really like swimming, floating and slow wind, free of UV

Lowest point of the earth and wonderful minerals available here and can float on the water in this sea. Maybe sulphur was deposited here at the time of Loth.

Don’t miss sunrise at The Treasury (Al-Khazneh) and sunset at The Monastry (Al-Dayr). It’s kinda worthy but make sure you wanna go with others when the dark comes.

Visiting the Monastery (Ad-Deir) in Petra was an unforgettable experience. This iconic structure is one of Petra's most impressive sights, with its massive facade carved into the rock. The journey to get there is quite an adventure in itself, and I visited in January when the weather was cool and pleasant. The hike to the Monastery involves a substantial climb, with around 800 steps to the top. For someone not particularly fit, it can be quite tiring, but the effort is well worth it. Along the way, there are breathtaking views and several spots to rest. There are also vendors offering refreshments, which is a welcome sight after the climb. Upon reaching the Monastery, the sheer size and beauty of the structure are awe-inspiring. It's less crowded than the Treasury, allowing for a more peaceful experience. The surrounding area also offers stunning views over the valley, providing excellent photo opportunities. Despite the challenging hike, visiting the Monastery is a must for anyone exploring Petra. The sense of accomplishment and the incredible views make it a highlight of the trip. Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes, bring plenty of water, and take your time. Highly recommended for those who can manage the climb!

The Monastery (AKA AlDayr in Arabic) is one of the hidden gems and less visited places in Petra. It is somewhere in the middle between the start of the Little Petra hiking trail and the Qasr Albint in the ancient Petra City. If you come to the Monastery from the Little Petra hiking trail, it is a 4 KM walk that is moderate in terms of difficulty. This is the easier of the 2 paths. However, if you walk from the Qasr Albint, it is shorter (around 3 KMs), yet is an uphill of stairs. Either path is served with direction signs, and with kiosks if you need to buy anything. I would recommend that you start from the Little Petra hiking trail, walk to the Monastery, and then continue to Qasr Albint. One other easier option is to take a donkey ride from Qasr Albint to the Monastery, and then return back to Qasr Albint walking (or another donkey ride). The Monastery looks very similar to the Treasury. The area is served with cafeterias and plenty of photography spots. This visit is a 1-day visit that you can combine with a Little Petra tour plus exploring Qasr Albint and some of the surrounding stops, and maybe have a lunch at one of the 2 restaurants close to Qasr Albint. The Monastery is free to visit, but you’ll still have to buy a ticket if you are heading back to Qasr Albint and the Ancient Petra City.

After a rewarding hike of over 800 rock-cut steps, you’re greeted by an enormous façade carved into the mountain—quiet, majestic, and beautifully preserved. Its sheer size and peaceful setting make it feel even more impressive than the Treasury. The panoramic views from the nearby viewpoints are unforgettable, and the whole experience is a perfect blend of adventure, history, and natural beauty. A true highlight of Petra.

Breathtaking to see while in Petra. While there I highly recommend some of the viewpoints nearby to see monastery from afar and at an angle. Well worth the hike up.

The hike isn’t that bad!go to the free overlook at top of the hill. It’s an amazing place to chill!

Totally worth the walk up all the stairs. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and take water and snacks as it’s a long walk from the entrance. It’s about an hour from the treasury without rest stops. We didn’t have time to sit down for a drink and enjoy the view as we were rushed as part of a tour group but have a full day in Petra so you can enjoy the beautiful sights without rushing. Photos include the walk up to and views along the way.

Mixed Review: So Petra itself and the ancient city is stunning. When you walk through the end of the Siq and the light hits the Treasury just right it will make your heart flutter 5/5 ⭐️ & absolutely breath taking. However, how the the site itself is being managed is SO disappointing. There are countless electric golf carts ripping up and down the Siq between the Visitors Centre and the Treasury. People walking are constantly dodging incoming carts that have no speed limit. It truly takes away from the magic of the site. Also majoirty of the Siq has been paved, it’s too bad because the original site would have been so interesting and beautiful. Accross from the Treasury there are tourist junk shops set up and people hassling you to buy there cheap made tourist garbage. Again, very disappointed to see it considering the history of the site and how much more beautiful it could be. All that being said, go in prepared and knowing what to expect, I still think it was beautiful and mind blowing but be prepared for golf carts everywhere. We arrived at the Treasury at 11:40am and it was packed. After walking the site for a couple hours we returned back to the Treasury around 3pm and there were only a few other couples there making it more peaceful and perfect for pictures. Site price is included in your Jordan Pass BUY YOUR JORDAN PASS BEFORE ARRIVING IN JORDAN (worth every penny)

Incredible - so much more than the famous Treasury. Remains of an ancient city with sophisticated water management for floods and supply. Tombs, temples public spaces and residences carved into beautiful and unique geology.

Amazing is the only word. A true wonder of the world. Spent 10 hours walking in the scorching heat - explored The monastary, High place of Sacrifice and Al Khubtha trail all in a single day from 6am-3pm. Don't miss the Royal tombs too, it's great. I carried enough water bottles, dates that kept me energized through out the day.

Super interesting and very impressive. It covers a very large area. To see everything you need a whole day and at least 3 hours of walking. But you can also just walk there and back for an hour and still see impressive things.

This place is amazing it is really worth calling one of the seven wonders of the world , the weather was hot although I visited in November , the entrance fees are different according to your nationality, there are small cart rides that you can pay for if you don’t want to walk all the way , you feel like you are in a movie or out of this world

Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, is a vast ancient city carved into rose-red rock, and exploring it takes time. The walk from the Visitor Center through the Siq to the Treasury is about 2 km (20–30 minutes). Reaching higher sites like the Monastery or the High Place of Sacrifice usually takes 1–2 hours, though donkey rides are available if you prefer not to hike the steep paths. Ticket prices depend on how many days you visit: • 1-day pass: 50 JD • 2-day pass: 55 JD • 3-day pass: 60 JD With its massive tombs, temples, and dramatic desert landscapes, Petra fully deserves its Wonder status—an unforgettable place whether you explore it on foot or ride a donkey up to the viewpoints.

one of the seven wonders of the world and currently my 6th one. one more left in mexico for me. this place was more beautiful than i thought. only reason i took one star off was the amount of sellers trying to sell horse and mule rides. i did get convinced and it was some what worth it but i paid 105 dinars for a horse and mule ride. only the mule ride for 35 dinars was worth it but the 70 dinar horse ride was absurd. i feel scammed. but i did get views better than the average person there because i was taken to routes only accessible by horse and the mule ride made reaching and leaving the monetary easier with the limited time i had. overall it was good but dang i feel scammed. but its ok.

It is simply a Must in a beautiful landscape, but - hey - without having seen it we may survive as well...;-) If you can, don't visit after 10am for all the crowd arriving

Part of my bucket list, this is one of those places in Earth that you have to experience in person. Simply majestic! It's unfortunate that much of this culture is still unknown. Not too busy these days, Jordan tourism is down due to the close war.

I came here at the beginning of October. The sunrise may come early, but there’s no sunlight reaching The Treasury at that time. If you come from 8 - 9 AM, you can see it fully lit. There are 3 spots to take photos: 1. The stone in front of the Treasury, located on the right side of the entrance (many people queue here bcs it’s free). 2. The middle view with a red carpet in front of the Treasury, to access this spot, you have to pay 10 JD, whether you take pictures or not. 3. The top of the rock opposite the Treasury, which takes about 1h to reach (around 5 km). It involves a bit of hiking, but it’s free and worth it. Make sure to do this on a separate day, as you won’t want to miss the Monastery on the main trail. Alternatively, you can visit the Monastery and then return by using the paid car service before 6 PM. Ticket: 1 Day visit: 50JD 2 Day visit: 55JD (actually I think 1.5days is totally enough)

Visiting Petra was a dream come true and a highlight of my travel bucket list! This magnificent ancient city is truly one of those places you must experience in person; the sheer scale and beauty are simply majestic. Walking through the winding Siq and arriving at the iconic Treasury took my breath away. It’s unfortunate that so much of this incredible culture remains relatively unknown to many travelers. Given the current global situation, tourism in Jordan has seen a decline, making it a perfect time to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site without the usual crowds. The journey to Petra is part of the experience itself. It's about a 2 km walk from the visitor center, allowing you to soak in the stunning views and surreal landscape along the way. If you prefer, you can take an electric buggy back to the visitor center, which is a convenient option after a long day of exploration. One of the standout moments of my trip was attending the Petra by Night event. The experience was nothing short of magical, with the path to the Treasury illuminated by hundreds of candles, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Listening to the gentle music while surrounded by the illuminated ruins was unforgettable. Petra is truly amazing and absolutely worth the trip. If you ever get the chance, make sure to add it to your itinerary. It’s a treasure that leaves a lasting impression!

The Treasury is Petra’s most iconic façade — a monumental rock-carved temple front hewn directly from the rose-red sandstone. Approaching through the narrow Siq heightens the drama: the gorge opens and the ornate Hellenistic-influenced façade suddenly appears, richly decorated with Corinthian columns, sculpted figures, and detailed friezes. Believed to date from the 1st century BC and carved by the Nabataeans, the structure blends local stonework with classical motifs. It’s spectacular for photos, best seen in the soft morning or late afternoon light, and remains one of the most unforgettable sights in Petra.

An absolutely breathtaking wonder of the world! The moment you walk through the Siq and catch your first glimpse of The Treasury, it feels like stepping into a dream. The scale, the intricate carvings, and the way the sunlight hits the sandstone façade are truly unforgettable. Pictures and videos can never capture the magic—you have to be here to feel it. The atmosphere is incredible, filled with history, culture, and a sense of awe. Standing in front of this ancient masterpiece, you can’t help but imagine the Nabataeans who built it over 2,000 years ago. The details carved into the rock are unbelievably well-preserved, and the energy of the place is inspiring. The journey itself is as memorable as the destination—the walk through the Siq with its towering cliffs makes the reveal of the Treasury even more dramatic. I highly recommend visiting early in the morning for fewer crowds and the best light for photos, but honestly, any time of day is worth it. This is not just a visit—it’s an experience of a lifetime. If you are in Jordan, you simply cannot miss Petra, and The Treasury is its crown jewel. Whether you are a history lover, an adventurer, or just someone looking for something unforgettable, this place will leave you speechless. I encourage everyone—locals and travelers alike—to visit and witness this masterpiece of human history. Truly one of the world’s greatest treasures!

My visit to The Treasury at Petra was absolutely unforgettable. Nothing really prepares you for that first moment when the narrow Siq opens up and this massive, beautifully carved façade appears in front of you. The details on the structure are incredible — centuries of history carved into the rose-red rock. It’s truly a sight that leaves you in awe. Go early in the morning if you can. The walk is cooler, the lighting is perfect for photos, and you’ll avoid the big tour groups. It also gives you a better chance to take clean, nice pictures without crowds. After reaching the Treasury, you can pay about 10 dinar to climb the stairs to a higher viewpoint. The view from above is amazing, and if you want, you can even engage one of the local “photographers” to follow you up. They know all the best angles and will take beautiful photos for you. A tip of around 5–10 dinar per person is expected, but honestly, it’s worth it for the shots and the experience. As you walk through the area, there are many souvenir stalls. If you’re not planning to buy anything, it’s best to politely decline directly. Don’t say “maybe later” or “I’ll think about it” — they will continue following you. A simple, friendly “no thank you” is enough. At the entrance, you’ll be offered a “complimentary” horse ride for the first 2km. It’s optional, but tipping is required. If you’re not keen, just decline politely — our guide mentioned that ignoring them completely is considered rude in their culture. On the way back, if you’re too tired to walk the full distance, there is a buggy service near the Treasury that costs 15 dinar per person to bring you back to the main entrance. Very convenient after a long day of walking! Just note that this buggy station only covers the route near the Treasury. There’s another buggy station inside that takes you deeper into Petra, not back out. Overall, Petra’s Treasury is a must-visit and absolutely deserves a full 5 stars. The views, the history, and the whole experience are truly incredible. Highly recommend!

It is simply a Must in a beautiful landscape, but - hey - without having seen it we may survive as well...;-) If you can, don't visit after 10am for all the crowd arriving

Part of my bucket list, this is one of those places in Earth that you have to experience in person. Simply majestic! It's unfortunate that much of this culture is still unknown. Not too busy these days, Jordan tourism is down due to the close war.

I came here at the beginning of October. The sunrise may come early, but there’s no sunlight reaching The Treasury at that time. If you come from 8 - 9 AM, you can see it fully lit. There are 3 spots to take photos: 1. The stone in front of the Treasury, located on the right side of the entrance (many people queue here bcs it’s free). 2. The middle view with a red carpet in front of the Treasury, to access this spot, you have to pay 10 JD, whether you take pictures or not. 3. The top of the rock opposite the Treasury, which takes about 1h to reach (around 5 km). It involves a bit of hiking, but it’s free and worth it. Make sure to do this on a separate day, as you won’t want to miss the Monastery on the main trail. Alternatively, you can visit the Monastery and then return by using the paid car service before 6 PM. Ticket: 1 Day visit: 50JD 2 Day visit: 55JD (actually I think 1.5days is totally enough)

Visiting Petra was a dream come true and a highlight of my travel bucket list! This magnificent ancient city is truly one of those places you must experience in person; the sheer scale and beauty are simply majestic. Walking through the winding Siq and arriving at the iconic Treasury took my breath away. It’s unfortunate that so much of this incredible culture remains relatively unknown to many travelers. Given the current global situation, tourism in Jordan has seen a decline, making it a perfect time to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site without the usual crowds. The journey to Petra is part of the experience itself. It's about a 2 km walk from the visitor center, allowing you to soak in the stunning views and surreal landscape along the way. If you prefer, you can take an electric buggy back to the visitor center, which is a convenient option after a long day of exploration. One of the standout moments of my trip was attending the Petra by Night event. The experience was nothing short of magical, with the path to the Treasury illuminated by hundreds of candles, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Listening to the gentle music while surrounded by the illuminated ruins was unforgettable. Petra is truly amazing and absolutely worth the trip. If you ever get the chance, make sure to add it to your itinerary. It’s a treasure that leaves a lasting impression!

The Treasury is Petra’s most iconic façade — a monumental rock-carved temple front hewn directly from the rose-red sandstone. Approaching through the narrow Siq heightens the drama: the gorge opens and the ornate Hellenistic-influenced façade suddenly appears, richly decorated with Corinthian columns, sculpted figures, and detailed friezes. Believed to date from the 1st century BC and carved by the Nabataeans, the structure blends local stonework with classical motifs. It’s spectacular for photos, best seen in the soft morning or late afternoon light, and remains one of the most unforgettable sights in Petra.

An absolutely breathtaking wonder of the world! The moment you walk through the Siq and catch your first glimpse of The Treasury, it feels like stepping into a dream. The scale, the intricate carvings, and the way the sunlight hits the sandstone façade are truly unforgettable. Pictures and videos can never capture the magic—you have to be here to feel it. The atmosphere is incredible, filled with history, culture, and a sense of awe. Standing in front of this ancient masterpiece, you can’t help but imagine the Nabataeans who built it over 2,000 years ago. The details carved into the rock are unbelievably well-preserved, and the energy of the place is inspiring. The journey itself is as memorable as the destination—the walk through the Siq with its towering cliffs makes the reveal of the Treasury even more dramatic. I highly recommend visiting early in the morning for fewer crowds and the best light for photos, but honestly, any time of day is worth it. This is not just a visit—it’s an experience of a lifetime. If you are in Jordan, you simply cannot miss Petra, and The Treasury is its crown jewel. Whether you are a history lover, an adventurer, or just someone looking for something unforgettable, this place will leave you speechless. I encourage everyone—locals and travelers alike—to visit and witness this masterpiece of human history. Truly one of the world’s greatest treasures!

Amazing landscape, many things to see and trails to hike. Very well kept park. But be ware that you need to manage your own food (have with you there). Many places around close early, especially on Friday.

World oldest copper mine, in the middle of the desert. Plentiful to see, from natural wonders, rock formations, natural arches, to historical sights, such as rock carving, Egyptian temple of Athor and Egyptian underground mines, some of which you can enter and crawl in. You must come by car, there is no public transportation inside the park, but there is a well defined, well kept and made cycling route. The fee covers you for 7 days of entries, and you get a dial in code to enter the park anytime, even during tourist center closing. Do not miss the visit center, spend at keaat 40mns there, the exhibitions are well worth it, and check with the Ranger on site for guidance based on your interests and stamina. Haza was in charge that day, and outstanding guide. Thanks to his pointers we could define a trip easy for our 7 years old, with a lot of small exciting climbs and go to a massive sand dune. Near the lake / restaurant, , there is a coloured sand bottle filling station, great gifts to all visitors. From all around you have wonderful views on Israel, and over the border toward "Palestine" (aka Jordan) Do not forget, this is the desert, closed shoes are mandatory, and bring water, the only refilling station is at the very end, at the lake.

Beautiful nature and cool things to look at. It's just crazy what some rain in a desert can do. The park is well preserved and you can go through by car. You then have to walk just a little bit to get close to the thing. You can also do a bit longer walkings, where you get to see interesting nature. Sometimes, offroad offers you more. Unfortunately, the tabernacle was closed. I don't know if it is always closed or just when we've been there in November. If you can, buy your ticket online. There you get a combination ticket with the Underwater Marine Observatory. We didn't succeed in buying the ticket. And we don't know if it is available for people with a non Israeli credit card or phone number.

The visit made sence, in a weird way. You think you have seen the mountains, and the park seems like a boring extend to the same mountains, but its not! Friendly people, visualization of the ancient story of the place, and much more makes it worth the visit. Much of the park is accessible by car, which makes it possible to visit, even on the hottest days. There is animals if you look in the shade of the lonely trees. I recommend it!☺️

A fantastic experience! our guide, Shay Cohen, was very engaging, and the scenery was breathtaking. Don't miss out on the guided tour by lantern light!

Amazing experience starting at the visitors centre and throughout the park. Well organised, lots to do, lots of interesting places to see with interestinghistory. Great walks short and long. Incredible views and landscapes. Don't miss.

It’s a breathtaking place, a must-have for hiking lovers. Plenty trails at different length and difficulties, it gives a good variety selection. A choice for bike rental is also a good addition if you would like to boost the experience.

Pretty good beach but bit of a scam because it says on the website that you can swim with the dolphins but actually you can just put your feet in and not actually swim but it was a pretty beach nonetheless

Excellent spot to come in the morning and spend all day here. Really enjoyed it! The dolphins can be a quest to see but with some patience and luck- you will!

Suchhh a beautifull place to watch dolphinsss, the dolphins are free to wander in the ocean which beautifully symbolized how free they are and just how they love their care takers enough to come back all the time to hang around us! Beuaitufl resort right next to a very aesthethic looking wooden structure with a sight and a bar and places to sit every where on, on the wooden water floating structure u also get great and beautiful ocean views and can see the dolphins in the big circle! Before the wooden structures there's of course a beach u can chill in and just wander around shops and soveniers 💕✨

Very beautiful tourist attraction! We saw 3 dolphins here! It’s about a luck to see them comming from the open sea! Student discount on the entry. Very delicious food in restaurant!

I have very mixed feelings about this place. We do end up here every time we come to Eilat and I like that the dolphins are free to come and go as they please BUT it’s very expensive and crowded. You just catch short glimpses of the dolphins (true it’s because they aren’t penned in which is a good thing). All of the activities cost extra and the prices are extremely high. I dunno, it’s only a so/so experience. We’ve had a much better time at some of the free beaches. The food is typical beach food with typical beach prices although I will say the Greek salad I had for lunch was quite tasty. I guess I would say, this doesn’t need to go on your Must Do list but if you’re out of activities and you need a few hours to kill, this isn’t terrible.

Very nice beach that combines everything. The price a bit high for family but its worth it if you didn't visit there. The food in the restaurant is great and the service is good. The relaxing place inside requires extra price and very expensive I should mention.. The dolphins are amazing and there is explanation in Hebrew and English. Most of the place is shaded and even if it full there's enough chairs and place for everyone:)

Great place, similar to an oasis. I would recommend to come early in the morning if you want to choose a good spot to spend the rest of the day. It gets crowded but there are still a lot of places under the trees to hide from the sun.

What a great chance to sit and watch fish for hours! Between the underwater observatory and the aquarium we were really pleased with the experience. Go early for quieter viewing without crowds. There was plenty of parking when they first opened.

Good for little kids, probably less for older ones. The place is trying hard to remain relevant. The underwater observetory is a little old and not really that impressive anymore. However you also get an impressive shark pool and some stingray and sea turtles exhibits. The 3d movie was impressive (but short. 18 min total). I've certainly been to better aquariums, but this is decent and good for kids.

A real fun place for kids, but also for the sea animal lovers. We had a guided tour and it was perfect and well explained. I enjoyed every bit of it. I would have enjoyed more if the glasses were a bit cleaner. Nevertheless, it was fun. PS: The 3D movie was cherry on the top

Wonderful. From walking through the lively coral reef to the 3D cinema which is unlike any other I have witnessed. The screen goes above the head so that it can be protected from any point in the room and looks like the whole is above you. This place is a must see for young and old. It is a beautifully maintained park, with a big variety of coral. The underwater observatory is absolutely amazing. The water of the red see is also accommodating the coral beautifully. The aqua dome is also an experience like none other. The whole is turned into a 3D video and it literally feels like you are under the ocean and touching the sea life yourself. Great place to visit, both educational and fun. its really impressive to see all the unique creatures that live in the ocean. dedicate at least several hours to the visit.

This place gets it! It's all about the service and people. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Very clean place. Food was good and fair priced. The exhibits were all well maintained. Especially with children, this is a very nice all day activity.

Fabulous experience! I love that they put effort into the smallest details like trash cans shaped as sharks. The cruise )15 minutes long) is also totally worth it.

We’ve been to aquariums all over the world and this isn’t the glossiest or the most high tech. But my kids love it and beg to come back every time we are in Eilat. There’s lots of different things to do that keep everyone entertained and you cannot beat seeing fish in their actual habitat. We love this charming little place. The 3-D movie was a huge hit!

Wadi Rum may be a desert, but it's far from ordinary. This incredible landscape carries centuries of history — once a vital trade route linking Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. With its dramatic red sands, towering rock formations, and wide-open silence, it's a place that leaves a lasting impression. Entry is free with the Jordan Pass, and once inside, a Jeep tour is a must. I highly recommend the 4-hour tour — it hits all the major highlights, gives you time to sip herbal tea in a local Bedouin village, and includes some adrenaline-pumping rides through the sand dunes. Our driver made the dune drifting part a blast — we couldn’t stop smiling! If you're planning to stay overnight (and you should!), book a tent inside the protected area. Watching the sunset fade into a night full of stars is a surreal experience. Don’t miss the stargazing tour — the desert sky here is unbelievably clear. Dinner is another highlight — a traditional meal slow-cooked underground in the sand for over three hours. The flavor and the experience both are unforgettable. Wadi Rum is more than just a desert — it’s an experience of nature, history, and Bedouin hospitality all in one. Absolutely worth the visit!

A magnificent, unforgettable view where the blue sky meets the orange dunes against the backdrop of majestic mountains. You can ride a jap or a camel, stroll through the dunes, sleep overnight in a tent or a cabin, or admire the starry night sky. I highly recommend it; it's an unforgettable experience.

Wadi Rum is where the Earth pretends to be Mars. It does a pretty convincing job: giant red cliffs, red sand, and silence so thick it hums .. its really, really quiet. Most people stay in one of the many bubble or dome camps, which look like space pods which are scattered all over the desert. These are great, but to really get a feel of the place you’ve got to explore. I hiked up to Burdah Rock Bridge (a 1.5 hour scramble worth every sweaty step) or wander the canyons. If you're staying overnight, one or two nights is perfect: long enough to feel lost in another world, short enough not to get bored.

If you are travelling to Jordan don't miss this place. An overnight stay is a must to have a feel of the place. There are numerous Camps to suit everyone's budget. Took a jeep tour to visit the Protected Area and watch sunset. The organizers/ drivers are very nice and ensure that tourists get best experience. The highlight of the place is that it's a desert surrounded by mountains. Loved the experience and highly recommend a visit to this protected area.

This place can't be more magical! No one visiting Jordan should skip this. The atmosphere, the weather, the view, and everything. It is just magical! We had a couple of hours ride tour. I found it a bit short honestly, but still enough to make sure I am coming again to visit at some point in my life. Highly recommend!!

Wadi Rum is an otherworldly desert landscape filled with massive red sandstone mountains, deep canyons, and endless open valleys that look straight out of a movie—quite literally. This stunning desert has been the filming location for several iconic films, including “Lawrence of Arabia,” “The Martian,” “Dune,” and multiple sci-fi movies that use its surreal terrain as a stand-in for Mars. Riding through the desert—whether by jeep or on foot—lets you admire dramatic rock formations, ancient petroglyphs, and wide horizons that shift color with the sun. Sunrise and sunset are especially magical as the whole desert glows in shades of gold and red. At night, the silence and crystal-clear skies make Wadi Rum a perfect place for stargazing. Whether you’re climbing viewpoints, exploring natural arches, or simply enjoying the peaceful vastness, Wadi Rum is one of the most unforgettable landscapes in Jordan.

Truly this is an amazing environment with stunning scenery and, if you take the chance, a peaceful place worth much more than a quick overnight stopover. Free entry with a Jordan pass. 4 wheel drive excursions a must to see the best of it. Oh and if there's no moon, do a star gazing trip to see the Milky Way and shooting stars 🌌☄️🌑 The only reason I haven't given it 5* is because of the rubbish which is being blown into the park from the nearby settlements and camps. It's crying out for a clean up 🥹

A Beautiful and Vibrant Experience This mosque is absolutely breathtaking, a must visit! I had the pleasure of meeting some truly lovely people there, which made the experience even more memorable. There’s also a waterfall like feature nearby that’s perfect for photography lovers! The local market is visually stunning and definitely worth strolling through. However, I’d advise against buying anything at the asking price, many items seemed quite overpriced, so be prepared to negotiate or just browse. At night, the area comes alive with energy. It’s vibrant, full of people, and there are plenty of great spots to eat and enjoy the atmosphere.

Old Market & Al Sahaba Mosque – The heart and soul of Sharm 🕌🌙 I travel to Sharm El Sheikh several times a year with my sister, and every time I come here, it feels magical all over again. Egypt is a country that divides opinions — people either love it or they don’t — but to truly enjoy it, you have to understand that it’s a different culture, with its own rhythm, manners, and traditions. Egyptian people are incredibly warm-hearted, always joking, smiling, and helping with genuine kindness. Bargaining is part of the fun — it’s a cultural game, not a trick. If you don’t play along and end up overpaying, it’s not their fault; it’s just part of the experience. The Old Market, with the Al Sahaba Mosque shining at its center, is absolutely breathtaking. Every time I stop there, it feels like the world stands still for a few moments. The lights, the sounds, the energy — all create a sense of timeless beauty. I love it deeply, and it never stops enchanting me. 💛 — Krisztina 🌊 Sharm Local Guide

A good tourist spot. Amazing pictures and videos with a lot of stores to grab many souvenirs for home. You should negotiate prices as they do make them slightly higher but an enjoyable experience. Best time to go is after 4pm. It does get extremely busy and crowded so please be patient. If you do not like crowded small spaces maybe stay away. There are narrow walkways with a lot to see.

I visited Old Market in Sharm El Sheikh during my vacation and it was an amazing experience. The place is full of life, colors, and authentic local atmosphere. You can find a wide variety of shops, souvenirs, spices, traditional items, and friendly local vendors always ready to help. The restaurants and cafés offer delicious food and a real taste of Egypt. The architecture and the atmosphere in the evening, with lights and music, make it even more special. It’s the perfect spot for shopping, walking, and enjoying the local culture. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sharm El Sheikh! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a nice evening, though we felt quite exhausted by the end as the store owners are very persistent. I understand they're making a living, but would be nicer to be able to pick and choose shops without feeling nagged. It was lovely and clean and you can find a shop for everything. Would return again.

Really enjoyed our evening trip here. Tastefully done, lots of shops, felt completely safe and at ease. Mosque open to visit - closes 10pm

Very touristic place with crowds of foreigners as well as locals. They have all kinds of souvenirs and Arabic stuff with very affordable price. Especially the snorkeling gear, only for 400 or 300. It’s definitely worth it buying here considering even the rental costs 150. The view is also great you can lie down in a cafe on the hill and chill, watching the crowd and enjoy the scenery.

El Gouna is definitely a beautiful place, specially the marina

I went to this place once and I swear, I will never go again. There are two types of quiet, one is peacefully quiet and the other is miserably quiet. Well this place was miserably quiet. There was just a weird vibe. There are only a limited number of resurants and bars. Theres very little to do at this place and the boats aren't anywhere near to as good as the ones in Hurghada marina. The El Gouna marina is also very small as compared to Hurghada Marina. Not to mention, the prices are sky high and theres no good to those prices. The locals from the area generally make up the crowd here (small crowd), apart from them you'd hardly see any tourists. There's a lot more to do at Hurghada Marina compared to El Gouna. The only good thing about El Gouna is that is a bit more cleaner than Hurghada city. In a nutshell, This place and the whole area of El Gouna is very overrated than it deserves to be. Don't waste your time and money!

Fantastic.... great place to visit and stay.

Good

Very quiet place and unfortunately I don't have a boat 😂

Great location Good residence Fair amenities

Beautiful..beautiful place 👌👍🤩😍😍
