Yotvata Hai-Bar Nature Reserve

Nature preserve
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Wildlife preserve with many rare animals, a self-guided driving tour & overnight camping.
A mini safari experience, nice for the kids. If you drive past, would be nice to stop for a visit. For visiting this place, you need to drive a car and stay inside the car at all time. Drive with a 30km/h speed limit.
Peggy M — Google review
We visited Yotvata Hai-Bar, about 30 to 40 minutes outside of Eilat. It is basically a safari-style reserve where you drive through and observe desert wildlife in a natural environment. You can see gazelles, antelopes, wild donkeys, ostriches, and different birds, all living freely without heavy human intervention. It feels much more authentic than a typical zoo. The reserve is very clean and well maintained. There is a short 10-minute film and a small kiosk with drinks and snacks. For holders of the Israel Nature & Parks Authority membership, entrance is free, so it is an easy and worthwhile stop. The full drive and visit take around 1 hour. It is a nice activity especially when traveling to or from Eilat, since it is located right on the main road. A great way to learn about desert wildlife and support conservation efforts. We really enjoyed the experience. There is a 10min movie before about the place, and a small shop, clean restrooms
Janun B — Google review
You can do the visit with your own car. We enjoyed the visit but we were a little bit disappointed since the predator zone was closed (according to the girl that sold us the tickets since 2016). They gave us a map with the name of the animals but there was no other information in the brochure. I think that they need to renew a little bit the installations. There is a picnic zone in the entrance and also a WC.

Nice 2 hours entertaining self-guided Park to visit. Drive in biblical zoo with very good recorded explanation tracks for the ride.
Jacques Z — Google review
Nice place to visit for a change of pace, but can't say there is a lot to do there. Nice to see the animals at a very natural and spacious environment and I can appreciate that, but gets pretty monotonousness after 30 minutes, don't expect the place to entertain the family for more than an hour. I heard it used to be bigger, but nowadays you can mainly see only Ostriches, Arabian Oryxes and Donkeys (I'm sure I'm missing something, but no more predators at the Hai-Bar as of 2020).

Absolutely amazing place. I volunteered here for a few weeks, with a friend in February 2017. The staff/rangers are truly incredible people. Their devotion to the animals and the guests who volunteer is like none other. I would highly recommend stopping by this amazing sanctuary. During the course of my volunteering I became much more aware and appreciative of desert life. I learned that the a lot of the animals within the reserve are kept away from the general public, as to keep them relaxed and comfortable. I thought this was fantastic and a very rare thing to see. Almost every place that cares for animals, also uses whatever ways they can to gain money and attention from said animals. Not the Hai-Bar. It might not be the best for visitors but I commend them for their actions. They would rather live comfortably knowing the animals are safe and not stressed. That should be respected! P.S. Just so you know, the desert actually contains pretty much any animal that you can find anywhere else. Just smaller, more adapted to conditions. (I'm often asked why I would volunteer at an animal sanctuary in the desert)
R. L — Google review
A little safari park with a lot of ostriches, different kind of funny deers, horses, etc. The animals are close to the road so you can see them well from your car. You need to stay in your car during the visit. If you stop next to an ostrich they will try to eat some invisible things from your car. So if you see an ostrich near a car and picking something it doesn't necessarily mean that they are feeding the animal, it can mean that the bird thinks that it can eat the car and it's really funny to see. You need to drive on a dirt road but it's doable with any kind of car. Ask for the CD/pendrive that explains everything about the park, it's full of interesting info.
Anna U — Google review
Not very excited tour, but definitely worth to visit. You can drive around in your own car what is taking around 30-45 minutes. You will see all animals which are living in the dessert.

Timna Park

National park
Nature & Parks
Hiking area
Timna Park is a vast and captivating park featuring ancient mineshafts, a dry and rocky terrain, and impressive clifftops. The park offers breathtaking views of Jordan and Egypt, as well as stunning pinkish-orange mountains. It's an ideal spot for relaxation, snorkeling, hiking in the nearby area, or even joining a Petra tour from Eilat. Additionally, the southern section of the Israel Trail provides challenging routes with unique spiritual centers and desert trails.
Beautiful desert park, 20 minutes drive from Eilat. Mainly car trails with sightseeing or trekking stops, historic sites, an artificial lake, a restaurant and activities for the kids. Accessible in extreme heat or pleasant weather alike. A lot of the park is wheelchair accessible.

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.
Leead D — Google review
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.
FFM9 — Google review
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.
Milch J — Google review
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!☺️

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.

Red Canyon

Nature & Parks
Canyons
Red Canyon, located in the Eilat Mountains of Israel, offers a unique hiking experience through narrow red-colored canyons with stunning scenic views. The trails are popular and accessible, making it suitable for beginners and families. The park is easily reachable from Eilat, with free parking available. It's recommended to bring food and plenty of water due to the desert environment. The approximately five-kilometer loop trails offer colorful and interesting paths for hikers to explore.
Great place to appreciate nature. Its not a long hike if you're like me, take tons of photos. Tip: we went beginning September. Its still hot so start early like we did. We woke up at 7:00 to leave by 8 no later.
Ida A — Google review
The Red canyon in the Eilat mountains is one of most beautiful and attractive places for family's. The entrance to the park is completely free. It's easy and accessible mountains hike, even for a kids. Very colorful and interesting trails. It's about five kilometers long of loop trails. The place you must visit if you traveling in Israel. Recommend to visit at morning time, less crowded...
David — Google review
Very beautiful canyon. Free entry. It´s not allowed to go there at night. I do not recommend for little kids and animals, because you couldnt then cross the climbing with them. You can just enjoy a walk with them before the main tourist attraction. There is free parking, and bus 92 or 392, going every 1-2hours, and its not reliable.

A must visit! Absolutely incredible to see the colors and formation of the canyon. Went here with our children and they enjoyed the hike. Would highly recommend wearing good hiking boots like blundstone as you're climbing down metal bars and back up along the cliff wall. Little dangerous for todlers but great for 5+ year olds.
Rose P — Google review
It is a beautiful place to visit. It is for free and the circle around the red canyon takes less than an hour to go through. We made a bit a longer circle, which was also nice and showed us other things of the nature. It was in November. Still hot, but ok to do a larger circle. They warned us to do, because everything is in the sun (which was not true, there was some shade and some wind.) But we had to go up a bit, which can be really difficult if you're not used to hiking.
Milch J — Google review
Short (~2km) walk through the dessert dry stream. The main attraction is the climbing down the stream, with stairs pegs and after that climbing back to the parking lot. This place located about 20km from Eilat, and we made it with little children (1.5, 4.5, 9 & 12), and they succeed this "track".
Oren V — Google review
Incredible place, worth going to tale a look. Suggested for families (not babies, old family members or injured people), there is a considerable hike from the parking spot thought the field until the actual red canyon. In the canyon beautiful sightseeing amazing and fun trail. During the trail there are metal stairs in the rocks to help go up and down, (dangerous if wet).

Ice Mall

Shopping mall
Shopping
Ice Mall in Eilat is an innovative concept that offers a one-of-a-kind experience. At the heart of the mall is a large skating complex, where visitors can enjoy skating shows and observe from restaurants and cafes on the observation deck. The surrounding area features various shops offering clothing, cosmetics, electronics, and more. Additionally, there are entertaining attractions such as virtual reality experiences, a mirror maze, Omega, a rope park, and games for children.
Ice Mall in Eilat is truly a unique and wonderful shopping destination! The mall has an amazing atmosphere, featuring a special indoor ice rink that creates a fun and refreshing experience, especially on hot Eilat days. Walking through the mall, you can find a great variety of shops, from international brands to local boutiques, offering fashion, souvenirs, and more. There are also many restaurants, cafés, and ice cream stands — perfect for taking a break and enjoying a delicious treat. The ice cream I tried here was fantastic, colorful, and full of flavor. The vibrant display immediately caught my eye, and it tasted just as good as it looked. The mall is very clean, beautifully designed with a high, geometric glass ceiling that allows plenty of natural light. It feels spacious, bright, and welcoming. Families with kids will definitely enjoy it, and there are several entertainment options for children as well. Another great thing about Ice Mall is that it is located close to many hotels and tourist attractions in Eilat, making it easy to visit even if you are only staying for a short trip. I highly recommend stopping by for shopping, dining, and a fun experience overall!
Misha S — Google review
Ice Mall is a large shopping and entertainment center, conveniently located within walking distance of most central hotels in Eilat, with parking nearby. Inside you’ll find a huge variety of shops – fashion, perfumes, electronics – along with plenty of food options and activities. It can get very crowded, which sometimes makes the atmosphere feel overwhelming, especially for parents who worry about keeping an eye on their kids. On the fun side, there are lots of games and activities for children (most for an extra fee). The ice-skating rink is the highlight – very enjoyable for kids and adults alike. Even toddlers can join with special seats designed for them, which makes the experience inclusive and fun for the whole family. * Pros: Central location, wide variety of shops, many kids’ activities, fun ice-skating rink. * Cons: Very crowded at times, extra costs for most activities, can feel overwhelming. Overall: If you enjoy shopping, family activities, and don’t mind the crowds, Ice Mall is definitely worth a visit.

Overall we had a great time at the Ice Mall, but it's a bit tough to get through when crowded. Seems like they've got too many kiosks and other shops blocking the walkways. Best to visit outside of peak times.

Ice skating is definitely the highlight of the mall and is very recommended. Good food in the restaurants, and many good brands of clothes and more. Very little if any shaded parking, and summer in Eilat is very hot.

The mall is open 7 days a week but most of the stores are closed on weekends. Super crowded and the only advantage is that it’s a circle so you can find your way fairly easily.

Dolphin Reef Beach, located beyond Eilat's port area, offers a unique experience for animal and nature enthusiasts. Visitors can observe a pod of bottle-nosed dolphins in their natural habitat, playing, hunting, and socializing. The private beach provides all-day access with amenities such as beach chairs and umbrellas where waiters serve guests. The main attraction is the opportunity to swim, dive, and snorkel among the captive dolphins.
Absolutely loved it! The dolphins were so cute and the entrance was gorgeous! Defenitatly recommend if you are coming to Eilat. 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. The water was super clear and security was okay.

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

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!
Vláďa — Google review
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.
Rachel S — Google review
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:)

Beach pavillion
Nature & Parks
Eilat's Coral Beach Nature Reserve is a stunning combination of a beach and a large coral reef, making it an ideal destination for snorkeling and swimming. As the northernmost shallow-water coral reef in the world, this national park offers a vibrant marine life with colorful fish and astonishing plants. The reserve provides convenient access to the reef along with essential beach amenities such as showers, restrooms, and even a snack bar.
The reserve is well-maintained, clean, and organized, with food shops and equipment rental available. While the price is a bit high compared to free nearby spots, the underwater experience is spectacular- vibrant corals, colorful marine life, and plenty to see. The area is very accessible, and safety is taken seriously with lifeguards on duty. Showers and restrooms are available and well-kept. Most seating areas are shaded with white canopies, which helps, though it can still get extremely hot in July and August. Some downsides include ongoing renovations, which limit access to newer sections and make planning a snorkeling route a bit challenging. The designated swimming areas are small and enclosed, but beyond the bridge, there are vast open spaces where you can really explore and see a lot of beautiful marine life. Overall, it’s more comfortable and enjoyable to snorkel in a well-supervised, maintained area than in unofficial sites, and the beautiful coral and abundant sea creatures make it well worth a visit. * Pros: Clean and organized, lifeguards on duty, beautiful corals and marine life, showers and restrooms, accessible. * Cons: Entry fee is high compared to free alternatives, renovations limit some areas, enclosed swimming zones can feel small, it can get very hot in summer.

Beautiful beach. Very clean. Tidy + with all facilities to enjoy the amazing Red Sea. It is considered a national park. Not for nothing. Once you enter the water, you can swim with some of the most exotic fish +. Once you put your head into the water you see the Wonder of nature underwater. It is very friendly for kids and for families and we could find ourselves spending the whole day from morning till night over there
Erez M — Google review
Although its one of the best places to see corals and fish in Eilat. The site could be a bit more developed. There are not many showers and only one dock to enter the water and relatively small place for swimming. With limited hours of operation and mediocre services this beautiful natural reserve should get an upgrade and the site could invest some of the entrance fee in improvments.

This beach has the advantage of not being overcrowded and all facilities are here, showers, toilets, bar, and a small nature reserve shop and rental services if you forgot your snorkeling equipment. Note, there are no lifeguard, only park rangers, but there is a space by the beach, in shallow water for poor swimmers Plant to bring some water shoes for the beach side. The reef is accessible via a long pier, and a large staircase leading easily to the water. Then it is the wonders of the red sea!

One of the good beaches in Eilat Clean, had toilet, shop, walk route, bridge directly to Red see with excitement view of corals, different fish types It's needed some payment, check possible options before coming there It's better come with your own equipment Pay attention - NO SAFE GUARDS

Our preferred place in Eilat! Every time we are in Eilat we go to this place, the best still and ever. Actually we were there every day, not a problem as we slept at the Yam Suf Hotel, only a 5 minute walk to there. 1. the beach is incredibly looked after 2. The Reserve guards are watching all the time for trespassers so very little chance something bad could happen to you while swimming 3. and of course the corals and the fish. Yes the coral are less beautiful than in the previous years, the mini tsunami a few years ago did damage the reef, but still they are interesting and the fish are till there and still super beautiful. Don't "FOMO" it, would you?

Snorkelling is ok. Nice fish and a bit of coral. If you've been in good reef places, you won't be impressed. But if in Eilat, it's worth a visit but a bit expensive for what it offers.

We had a lovely day out here. It was February, so out of season and not too busy. Lots of beautiful sea life up close in enormous tanks. Also, a very nice undersea viewing room and a sub trip if you want. Loads of facilities and other interesting things to see..... Lovely and we'll worth a visit 😀

Underwater Observatory Park

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
The Underwater Observatory Park in Eilat is a remarkable marine attraction located within the Coral Reserve. It features an impressive underwater aquarium where visitors can marvel at a diverse array of aquatic species and a large coral colony. The park also offers various activities such as the 'Creatures of the Deep' 3D presentation, sea turtle pool, ocean simulator, and 'The World of Sharks' exhibition.
Would spend there all day. An established place, but it keeps renovating all the time. The shark aquarium is so relaxing and exiting at the same time! The underwater observatory facility is a must. Note- a single ticket is good for a couple of days, so if you want to visit more than once (and you should) plan accordingly.

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.
Yehuda G — Google review
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.
Gidon S — Google review
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
Anindita D — Google review
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.

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!

We had amazing experience here. There are pools for adults and kids, but we come here only because of the sea. There are lots of corals that’s why advise you to bring your mask to snorkel or rent it here. Nice music and bar with plenty of food and drinks and water activities. You should really come here and feel same experience!

You'll regret not coming here when you visit Aqaba.

Definitely a 10/10 experience. The receptionist, Yara I presume, welcomed us and explained everything we needed to know in a respectful and informative way. The resort has a great atmosphere with a lively vibe. The staff are respectful and helpful, the food tasted great, and the whole place is very clean, even the beach. The lifeguard, Rashed I think his name is, was extremely patient and helpful with us. The Discovery Ride is a must. It starts with a nice ride to a sunken ship, then to corals with plenty of visible fish, followed by a sunken C-130 plane, and ends with an hour of snorkeling. Overall, this is a must-try experience for 23 JOD per person.

From the moment we arrived, Berenice Beach Club offered a flawless blend of relaxation, fun, and warm Jordanian hospitality. The entry fee—around JOD 13 (~US $23)—felt like excellent value for a full day at this expansive seaside retreat    . The beach itself is beautifully maintained, with clear, calm water, pristine sand, and vibrant coral reefs that make snorkeling and diving a must, There are also three lovely pools (one designated for adults), plus comfortable sun beds, towels, and clean changing facilities  . Service here truly stands out. Staff are not only professional, but genuinely friendly and attentive—often going above and beyond to assist with everything from rescuing lost items to ensuring your comfort  . The amenities impressed us as well. You’ll find on-site restaurants, water sports, diving, boat excursions, live music, themed evenings (like bonfires and karaoke), and a lively animation team for games and activities   . Overall, Berenice Beach Club is a standout in Aqaba—clean, well-designed, and brimming with variety. Whether you’re looking to unwind quietly or dive into adventure, it caters to families, couples, and mixed groups with a balanced mix of tranquility and activity. Highly recommended!
Saif M — Google review
We had two fantastic days in Berenice. We found both locals and tourists during our stay, which is a good mix. The resort offers changing rooms, showers, towels, loads of sun beds, and a clean beach. We had drinks and both days lunch and dinner - we liked everything but it is definitely with tourist prices. There is 2x1 drinks from 7pm onwards which is great. Staff is friendly and attentive. We did not try the snoerkeling/diving school, but definitely the corals are better on the South Beach - worth to have a couple of hours there.

I can’t tell you how beautiful this place is! This castle is a must-seeee! It’s beautiful, well maintained and well restored. Photographers, you’re gonna fall in love with it! It needs about 2/3 bourse to be explored then you can go snorkeling or swimming in the Gulf of Aqaba and enjoy the beautiful Red Sea. Luckily, when I went, there weren’t many tourists. However, I do recommend building a kiosk to sell water because there aren’t any so make sure you bring all that you need with you. It’s also super close to Aqaba, Jordan, about an hour and a half only via sea.

It is located at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba in the middle of a coral island. It is the second diving area in Sinai after Ras Muhammad. The castle is 250 meters from Sinai Beach, 10 km from the port of Aqaba Pharaoh's Island has been given several names, including Al-Marjan Island, Gray Island, and the people of Sinai call it three names: “The Citadel - The Citadel - The Village”, its area is 325 m from north to south, 60 m from east to west Salah al-Din realized the importance of the strategic location of the island after passing through it during his campaign against the Levant in the year 567 AH 1171 AD, so he built his famous castle on it The castle was built of igneous granite stone taken from the castle's quarry, which is currently located in the center of the northern fortification The castle was built on two large hills, a northern hill and a southern hill, between which there is a middle plain, each of which is a self-contained fortification capable of defense in the event of the siege of the other, and they are surrounded by an external wall as the first line of defense for the castle. Water tanks were dug inside the rock, so all means of protection and subsistence were available for it
Ahmad A — Google review
A very nice historical place.. Where Salah Al-den built two castles to defend the land.. in a very strategic position some how elevated from sea so you can see any one coming from a distance.. You climb some stairs and there are some parts where you will be walking on the edge and have a bit of adventure..(still optional) You still also can see the outline and the plan of the rooms and it still has a prayer area where the soldiers were praying in You can enjoy the story of the place there are also some description signs along the place.. And the view is very nice from up there.. And a very interesting thing there that on the top of the door to the praying area a sign with hand writing of Salah Al-Den him self.. still there for centuries.. Overall if you are passing by.. definitely have a a quick visit it takes around 45 minutes to visit every thing there.. And there is also a snorkeling spot there people come and enjoy it we didn’t get to try it due to time but the guide was encouraging us to try next time..

It is actually two castles (Northern and Southern) on Pharaoh's Island, in the Gulf of Aqaba. It was built by Salah El-din (Saladin) in 1170 AD. Castles were previously built on the island in the old Arabic era and in 1116 AD by Baldwin. The castles played a major rule in the Crusades, Mamluk and Ottoman eras.

Nestled in a picturesque setting, Castle Zaman is a remarkable slow-food restaurant that promises an unforgettable experience. The stunning infinity pool and delectable cuisine make it a perfect choice for a romantic getaway or simply unwinding amidst breathtaking scenery. With its medieval charm and attentive staff, this hidden gem offers exceptional hospitality. Guests rave about the delicious flavors of the food and the impressive selection of beverages, from refreshing smoothies to a full bar.
A medieval castle nested in the mountains overlooking the bluest waters you will ever sea. A one of a kind relaxing experience. Quite, relaxing, comfortable, and super clean for a one day trip. Close to Newebai" Dahab and Sharm, the place is definitely worth the ride. The food is slow cooked and must be ordered in advance, but it is incredibly tasty. You need to book in advance, a bit pricy, but worth it.

A Magical Hidden Gem in Sinai Castle Zaman is truly a breathtaking experience. The scenery is out of this world. Perched above the Red Sea with panoramic views of the mountains and water, it feels like stepping into a serene dream. The atmosphere and ambiance are peaceful, relaxed, and so unique. Soft, calming music plays in the background, adding to the tranquil, magical vibe of the whole place. Every corner is designed with intention. One of my favorite parts was exploring the “dungeon”. It felt like a treasure adventure. Hidden below the castle, it is filled with beautifully handcrafted glasses, plates, bowls, and other unique pieces all for sale. I ordered a slow-cooked veal leg dish. It was served with veggies, molokhya, and roz. Absolutely delicious, and one of the most satisfying meals I have had in Sinai. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, and the welcome drink was a lovely touch that made the experience even more special. Even the bathrooms were spotless and beautifully done, with natural materials and no cold metal anywhere in sight. Every detail reflects care, artistry, and harmony with nature. A special thank you to Lucy for her professionalism, kindness, and for making my time there so joyful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique escape with incredible views, authentic food, and peaceful energy. Thank you, Castle Zaman, for an unforgettable day. ✨

Eroding sandstone & limestone formed by the Red Sea created layers of color in this striking gorge.
Beautiful canyon, worth visiting during any tour in Egypt. There could be a lot of other tourist and can be crowded, the rocks and formations are not like in the photoshoped brosures so don't get very excited. The road to the canyon is a fun jeep safari ride trough the sand, it is worth visiting once.

5 stars! The tour to the Colored Canyon was an amazing experience! The guides were simply fantastic, they accompanied us with serenity and professionalism all day, explaining every detail and making us feel at ease. We snorkeled in crystal clear waters along the reef, a relaxing camel ride through the desert and an exciting quad bike adventure! And the final touch was Fabrizio's photo shoot, which captured us in beautiful and unforgettable moments. The company was great and we had a really memorable day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of the Colored Canyon!" 😊👍📸 Special thanks to Osama guide of extreme precision and professionalism!

The Colored Canyon - Review The Colored Canyon is a natural wonder in the Sinai desert, offering a truly unique and visually stunning experience. It's a geological formation carved over millions of years by water and wind, resulting in a narrow gorge with towering, multi-colored sandstone walls. * Vibrant Scenery: The canyon's main attraction is its walls, which display a breathtaking palette of colors from shades of yellow and orange to deep red and purple. These colors are created by various mineral deposits, and the way sunlight filters through the narrow passages creates a magical and ever-changing display. * The Experience: A visit typically involves a guided hike through the canyon's winding and sometimes narrow passages. This adventure is suitable for most fitness levels, though it may involve some light scrambling over rocks. The journey is an opportunity to appreciate the intricate rock formations and the sheer power of nature. * Beyond the Canyon: Tours to the Colored Canyon often combine it with other popular desert activities, such as jeep safaris, camel rides, and visits to other nearby attractions like the Blue Hole or Dahab. This makes it a great full-day excursion for those staying in Sharm El Sheikh or Nuweiba. * Photography: For photographers and nature enthusiasts, the canyon is a paradise. Every turn offers a new composition, with the vibrant colors and unique textures providing endless opportunities for stunning photos. Final Word: The Colored Canyon is an essential stop for anyone visiting the Sinai Peninsula. It’s an adventure that engages all the senses and provides a profound appreciation for the natural artistry of the desert.

We came as part of a Dahab tour. We were transported among the sand dunes by a Jeep- was fun! The canyon itself is amazing- we'd had an easy hike down in the canyon. Wear good shoes! The sand is hot- so my advice is no sandals, wear socks. At the exit there is a beduin family offering tea and selling handmade crafts.

I recently booked my Egypt vacation through this travel agency, and overall, I was quite satisfied with the services provided. I visited three cities—Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor—and I’ll share my experience for each separately. To start on an honest note, one aspect that disappointed me was the lack of transparency. Before confirming the trip, I specifically asked whether the same travel agency would be handling our itinerary across all three cities, and I was told yes. However, upon arriving in Egypt, I discovered that they only managed our Cairo itinerary. The other two cities were handled by a different firm (whose name I will not mention, as all payments were made to the original agency). This created a breach of trust and was not what I expected based on our initial conversations. Cairo We were warmly received at the Cairo airport by an agent holding a name board with my name on it. He assisted us smoothly through immigration and introduced us to our guide, Mr. Faris. Mr. Faris was truly a consummate professional—extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history. From the Great Pyramids to the Civilization Museum, he explained everything in great detail. I was especially impressed by his use of a laser pointer, which he used to highlight specific areas of monuments and museum displays while explaining their significance. This level of detail made the tour both engaging and educational. Aswan Unfortunately, the experience in Aswan was quite the opposite. The guide, Ms. Asma, was arranged by the local partner agency—not by Nature Travels. To be honest, she was a complete disappointment. A visit to ancient monuments can easily feel monotonous if the guide isn’t enthusiastic or well-prepared, and that was exactly the case here. While she seemed to know some of the symbolism and drawings in the temples, her reluctance to guide us properly was evident. She lacked the passion and depth needed for such a historic tour. What’s worse, she did not give any historical background before entering the sites, which is usually the most engaging part of a temple tour. To add to the frustration, although the agency was supposed to cover the guide’s meals and beverages, she ordered a juice and then asked us to pay the bill. I went ahead and paid, simply to avoid any confrontation. Overall, Aswan was a disappointing part of our trip, primarily due to the unprofessional guide. Luxor Luxor turned things around completely. Our guide here, Ms. Amera Demo, was outstanding—possibly the best guide I’ve ever had. From the moment she met us in the hotel lobby, her warm, proactive, and friendly demeanor made a lasting impression. As soon as we got into the van, she pulled out paper and pen to sketch how the pyramids were originally built and explained why the Pharaohs transitioned from pyramids to tombs in Luxor. She shared crisp, fascinating facts about Egyptian history and dynasties in a way that was both informative and entertaining. Ms. Amera also made personal connections, chatting about her children and their dreams, which made us feel like we were touring with a family friend rather than just a guide. Her depth of historical knowledge and genuine enthusiasm made our Luxor visit truly memorable. Final Thoughts Despite the initial trust issue and the unpleasant experience in Aswan, the professionalism in Cairo and the excellence in Luxor balanced things out. Any concerns I raised were addressed promptly and professionally by the agency, which I truly appreciated. On the whole, I would rate this experience a 7 out of 10—mostly due to the Aswan segment—but I’d still recommend this agency, especially for their Cairo and Luxor arrangements.

After they arrived in Jordan, the tickets were sold out It is an old version and they refused to accept it in Jordan, and God is sufficient for us and He is the best disposer of affairs.

Awesome kite surfing center! It's a great place to get started. The beach in Ras Sudr is an awesome place to come out and relax, add in the element of enjoying a water sport and you've come to the right place! The wind is fantastic out here, and this is the spot you want to come to if you'd like to learn how to Kite Surf, or you are already experienced. I took the beginner course with Hatem and it was a blast. Very knowledgeable instructor and gives you the jist of what you need to know to get up and enjoy the winds. Friendly staff who accommodates for your needs and learning pace. I'd recommend giving them a call before heading out to find out the wind conditions. You won't be disappointed!

Great place to get rid of all your life burdens This is one of the places that you'll enjoy the beauty of the nature around you. You, the sea, and the sands of the desert on the other sides only, no one to bother you, nothing to annoy you. If you are a Wind Surfing fan, then this is the ideal place for you, but unfortunately I'm not :D I liked that place because it's quite, and fresh air around almost all the time. The unit we had was equipped with a partial kitchen, so we didn't used the Hotel restaurant, we used our unit kitchen, and get all our staff from the nearby Ras Sudr City. If you have a car then this will be one of your options. Sea is very nice, you can see craps running around in the night on the shore. Fishing also is another activity you can do there. You'll need to close the unit doors behind you & give a good care to that, because you can see many types of the lizards around, as it's a normal desert life around. Overall i enjoyed my stay there a lot, with the friendly staff, & their helpful notes. the Sea, and the sun during the winter (Oct/Nov), the sand, and my kids, draw a non forgettable vacation experience Show less Room Tip: ask for the near by the sea rooms if you want a double room; if you want bigger chalet you'll ha...

Being a non-kite-surfer, this spot hit the spot. It’s quiet, peaceful, clean and convenient. Most importantly the water is incredibly warm and clear. The staff is friendly, helpful and comfortable to deal with. If you’re looking for simplicity, you found it !

My experience with Infinty kite checked all the boxes as a student. The equipment is all up to date, instructor is extremely patient with step by step instructions, staff is friendly and very helpful, the center is clean with a beautiful lounge area to rest, location is perfectly located 2 -3 hours away driving whether you coming from Cairo or Hurghada and 30 mins from Elsokhna. I will definitely be back and strongly recommend this place if you're new to the sport like myself and ofcourse for the advanced people as there were many people out there kite boarding and foiling.Also, special thanks to the owner Shihab who was very nice and accommodating.

Accessible by shuttle boat, the beach boasts a long reef that kids love and a stunning coral reef for exploration.

Beautiful place, everybody was so kind, good serice. Non-hotel visitors have to pay an entrance fee 450le. The sunbeds and umbrellas are free of charge upon availability. We definetly recomment this place, even if you stay in Hurghada. We came here with Uber (costy 300le), 40-50 min by car.

You can only enter the city at an extra security checkpoint. If the accommodation is not booked here, it is difficult to get in. But we managed. Entrance fee to the beach is 225 EGP, of which 100 EGP can be consumed at the restaurant for lunch. The shower and changing toilet are very nice and clean. The sunbeds are not new, but we had a perfect time. The beach is very nice and the staff on the beach and in the restaurant are very nice. When entering the beach, there is a bag check, it is forbidden to bring in food or soft drinks!

Fabricia H — Google review
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!

A limited area of ​​the library is available for visiting, as a significant part of it is occupied by a private workspace. A ticket to the library is quite inexpensive, for this money you can use the Internet, see a small exposition of ancient Egypt, consisting of copies of real exhibits. You can also sit in the courtyard by the fountain. That's all there is to it. The visit took 10 minutes max.

(Translated by Google) Nice, but nothing more. A visit to the cultural hall could be interesting if something like this was demonstrated or shown. Otherwise not necessarily worth a visit.

Sliders cable & Aqua Parks El Gouna

Mentioned on

Water park
Sliders cable & Aqua Parks El Gouna is a must-visit destination for water enthusiasts. The aqua park offers an exhilarating experience with various fun water obstacles, making it suitable for kids, teenagers, and adults alike. Additionally, the Olympic standard cable park in El Gouna is one of the world's largest, providing wakeboarding without the need for a motorboat.
Really cool and big cable park for wakeboarding with lots of different obstacles. You can choose between clockwise and counterclockwise. You can rent everything at the site and the equipment is in great condition. The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are good, especially if you're there for more than one day. I can totally recommend the place.

Nadeen E — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a kitesurfer, I visit El Gouna twice a year – and when there’s no wind, Sliders Cable Park is the perfect alternative! I’ve visited quite a few wake parks in Germany, but none of them come close to the size and variety of Sliders. Whether you prefer riding clockwise or counterclockwise – here you can do both. The many obstacles offer the right challenge for every skill level. And if something doesn’t go as planned, the team is always quick to find a solution. A special thanks to Mr. Aziz for the smooth and friendly support! Of course, you can always find something to complain about if you really want to – but for my part, I’ve always been completely satisfied. On windless days, you’ll definitely find me riding at Sliders instead of kiting. Best regards, Martin from Germany

Park is very nice, 2 cables and one easy for beginners. Notice which hours are cables operating (see photo) if you have foot preference. There is a bar and plenty of places to chill. Equipment is a bit worn out, but everything is operational. Staff is mostly helpful, they give nice support for beginners. A bit of maintenance problems har occurred, but they were solved relatively quick (ca 5-10 minutes of waiting). You can ride for 45€ for 2 hours, or you can pay for whole day more. Helmet, vest and basic board is for free.

The staff are friendly, professional, and always ready to help, whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced rider. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, with everything you need for a great day out. The cable park itself is world-class, with obstacles and setups for all levels. There’s also a chill area where you can enjoy good food, drinks, and music while watching the action on the water. Perfect place for friends, families, or even solo visitors who want to try something exciting. Highly recommended!

Jazā'ir Jiftūn

Mentioned on

Island
Nature & Parks
Jazā'ir Jiftūn is an island in Egypt known for its nature preserve, white sand beaches, and luxurious accommodations. It's a great place for birdwatching and enjoying the calm waves and water sports. The island offers both public and private beaches, with spots like Orange Bay and Mahmya being particularly stunning. While some visitors found the beach disappointing due to sharp sand and limited amenities, others enjoyed the crystal-clear waters and beautiful sun.
Lovely lovely island with great white sandy beach and clear turquoise water. There are public and private beaches all of which are great. The private beaches like Orange Bay and Mahmya are simply marvelous and worth the money. There are also some nice snorkeling spots but not the spots the regular trips go to. The reefs in the shallow waters have been mostly ruined but still OK. The best thing is the boat trip, really love every moment faring over the red sea from Hurghada port to Giftun and back.

Al Mina Mosque

Mosque
Sights & Landmarks
In the heart of Hurghada's Old Town, El Dahar, visitors can explore narrow streets and vibrant shops. The area comes alive with a bustling bazaar where the Coptic Cathedral of Saint Shenouda stands modest on the outside but boasts stunning architecture inside. Nearby, Koshary El Tahrir offers a taste of Egypt with its traditional dish, koshary. Afterward, visitors can quench their thirst with cane juice at El Dahar Square.
Well worth a visit. Absolutely stunning in the evening sun. You can rent a special dress (as a woman) for the small amount of 1.-€ or 50.- LE to visit inside - the outside is much more beautiful though. Highly recommended when you are in Hurghada region.

Spending the evening in Hurghada was a perfect way to wind down. The city feels much calmer at night, with a nice mix of local charm and coastal beauty. I stopped by the Al Mina Mosque, which looked beautiful under the soft lights—its architecture really stood out in the quiet of the night. I also wandered through the Fishmarket, where the evening hustle added a bit of character. It’s not too busy, but there’s still a lively atmosphere, and you can watch the fresh seafood being brought in. The Marina at night was probably the most relaxing part. The boats were gently swaying, and the area was peaceful with cafes lining the waterfront. It was a great spot to enjoy the evening breeze and take in the view. A perfect, low-key way to enjoy Hurghada at night.

Good place for some food and drinks, a bit quirky in places. Disappointed in some of the shops that all prices were in usd. To much hassle trying to work out. Would be better in egp but hey ho we just didn't buy anything from those shops. No hassle from shop staff which was a nice change. The obligatory camel sitting on the pavement of course. You can also book trips, submarine trip etc and if you come out and walk along to the right you come to the mosque and fish market

Sanja P — Google review
Hurghada Marina is a modern, well-maintained promenade designed primarily for tourists. It’s lined with stylish but often overpriced restaurants, all set in a clean, polished environment. While it’s pleasant to stroll around, it doesn’t reflect the authentic Hurghada – you’ll mostly encounter locals here working in service roles, likely due to the higher prices. The entire area is gated and heavily secured, which may give some visitors a sense of exclusivity or safety. However, this setup might also imply that the rest of Hurghada is less safe – which is not true. Personally, I felt safe at all times throughout the city. Still, the Marina is worth visiting, especially if you enjoy a touch of Monaco-style glamour while on the Red Sea. Come for a sunset walk or a drink with a view – just don’t expect to experience local culture here.

The most horrible beach I've ever seen. Price is $10 (!!) for horrible conditions.They dont remove towels after people leave,so you can't find a place, as dont know whether it's taken now or not. And noone is there to help. 2 super loud speakers next to each other,so you can go crazy "enjoying" listening 2 shitty songs at the same time. Half of a beach is under direct sun as no umbrellas, just shitty small covers for a head that not even functional. Waiters non existent, maybe 1 guy for the whole beach. Drinks horrible, e.g. they make pina colada on cow milk with almost zero rum.

I recently stayed at Sindbad Club Hotel in Egypt with my family, and our experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine kindness. Every single member of staff was wonderful so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It really felt like everyone went out of their way to make our stay special, and that made such a big difference to our holiday. The hotel itself is beautiful, very well-kept, and always spotless. The atmosphere is both relaxing and lively, making it perfect for families. The food was excellent fresh, tasty, and with plenty of variety every day. We looked forward to every meal because the service and presentation were just as good as the food itself. I want to give a special mention to Hani, the cleaner, who truly went above and beyond. He didn’t just keep our room clean he made it absolutely spotless, paying attention to every little detail. His dedication, professionalism, and kindness really stood out, and he exceeded every expectation. Hani is the best, and we are so grateful for his hard work and care. Overall, Sindbad Club Hotel exceeded all expectations. The combination of the amazing staff, delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional cleanliness made this one of the best holidays we’ve ever had. We left feeling so happy, relaxed, and excited to come back. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Egypt you will be treated like family here.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Sherif Ashraf. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness truly set him apart. Sherif didn’t just provide excellent service, he made us feel genuinely cared for. Every interaction with him was thoughtful and sincere. He anticipated needs before we even had to ask, always greeting us with a smile and offering help with such grace and enthusiasm. It’s rare to meet someone who makes hospitality feel so personal and heartfelt, but Sherif does exactly that. Because of his efforts, our experience at the hotel was truly unforgettable. He is an absolute credit to the team and a shining example of what true hospitality means. If there were a way to give more than 5 stars, we absolutely would. Thank you, Sherif Ashraf, for your incredible service, you turned a simple stay into something genuinely special.

I stayed here a few weeks ago with a friend. The rooms are good. The resort is spacious with large pools and comfortable sunbeds. The staff made our stay great, from the breakfast team to the guys at the bar. The animation team is great and always very positive. They run activities throughout the day and bring good energy. Every night there is a dance show. A nice way to end the day.

Genuinely not enough words can describe how happy we are with this place. Cleanliness&location was amazing and the food was phenomenal! All the staff were really welcoming and have been amazing from start to finish, they even remembered my husbands name throughout the whole trip and made sure we was well looked after. The manager was so kind and looked after us the whole way. Also Shout out to Omar at the bar! What a lad. Good brother. And many thanks to Abdul for making sure our room was immaculate daily, especially our jacuzzi. This place is pure vibes, we’ll definitely be coming back. Don’t miss out, book now! You won’t be disappointed.

We really enjoyed our time at Sindbad Club in Hurghada. The whole team were extremely polite and helpful, always making sure guests were happy and comfortable. Our room was very nice — clean, comfortable, and always perfectly taken care of. We especially want to mention Ahmed from housekeeping. His friendliness, positive attitude, and helpful advice made our holiday truly special. He went above and beyond for us every day! The resort has great food options, a beautiful beach area, and lots of fun entertainment. It’s a perfect place for a relaxing holiday. We can’t wait to come back again soon!

Well where to start.... What an amazing holiday made even better by all the staff. Arrived late 22.00 check in was fast, effective, and very welcoming. The room was good a bit outdated with a lick of paint needed but otherwise clean and cool due to the free air con wich is loud so wear ear plugs if you need them, towels provided with a fridge and bottled water. First day expected a big rush for beds but there was plenty available all holiday for both sunbathing and shaded areas. Water slides where great for the young girl and adults alike pools get cleaned daily throughout the day. Plenty of bars and restaurants available food was brilliant different verity each night from oriental Italian Indian Mediterranean ect. The hotel it's self was amazing and like I said the staff was brilliant they work so hard all day and night. We never hardly had to get a drink as they would make sure we was relaxing well deserved a few tips. Big shout out to the young lad who saved us a seat in the alchemy each night forgot your name tho. And to the excursions team for a trip of a life time snorkeling in the corals and quad biking in the desert and Gamal for the very informative demonstration of the excursions and where to go I would highly recommend going to him for all activities. Will be returning next year keep up the great work 👍

The location of the hotel itself is very good. Everything is close, the beach, various pools. All the bars are within easy reach and the extremely friendly wait staff. We will be back.

The Eastern Desert is the part of the Sahara desert that is located east of the Nile river, between the river and the Red Sea. It extends from Egypt in the north to Eritrea in the south, and also comprises parts of Sudan and Ethiopia. The Eastern Desert is also known as the Red Sea Hills, the Arabian Desert, and the Arabian Mountain Ranges because to the east it is bordered by the Red Sea and because it was originally inhabited by Arabs in Pre-Islamic Egypt, respectively. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
