Dahab Safari Day Tours

Mentioned on

Tour agency
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
Dahab Safari Day Tours is a reliable and professional tour operator in Dahab, Egypt. The company offers well-organized and enjoyable tours at competitive prices. The staff, particularly Ahmed, is known for their professionalism and excellent English-speaking skills. One of the popular tours includes a visit to Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine with knowledgeable guides who provide insightful information about Egyptian history. Additionally, the tour to Petra in Jordan is described as an unforgettable experience that's worth the journey and cost.
After walking up and down the strip and getting an idea on pricing, I came across Dahab Safari Day Tours and was introduced to Ahmed. He was always able to get me the best price on all the tours I wanted to do. Compared to some other cowboys nearby, Ahmed was professional and spoke with perfect English. Every tour I booked with him was well organised and great fun. He even sorted me a competitive taxi ride to the airport and when I lost my phone, was able to coordinate its return. What a life saver!

I was alone 2 days with my beduin guide, Selmi in the Shinai desert, near the White Canyon. Originally I wanted it to be 3 days, but due to technical issues with my bus I couldn't make it in time. Dahab Safari was kind and flexible enough to let me do the remaining 2 days. They quickly converted the 3 days safari to a 2 days safari and said they just want me to have a nice experience. I did have a very good experience, I wanted to have a glimps of an authentic beduin life for a few days and Selmi, my beduin guide did a fantastic job showing it to me. He also showed some beautiful places, cooked and made delicious beduin tea for me. I never felt insecure for a second, from the beginning I felt I can trust the drivers and Selmi too. For some people this might be a bit too much, so I would recommend this for hikers, and who has at least a normal fitness level. I think Dahab Safari may also offer smoother tours too. I can guarantee that those, who like adventures will have a wonderful time! Thank you Selmi, and thank you Dahab Safari, I would give you more than 5 stars if I could! 🙂

Dahab Tours staff are very helpful and accommodating!! They have the best customer service! They rescheduled my trip a couple of times, and were all very nice about it. I appreciated it very much! The submarine excursion was absolutely fantastic! What an experience to see beautiful corals and fish. Also the sea floor! Highly recommend the company and the trip to anyone!

This tour provider is disturbingly unprofessional and dangerously unprepared for emergency situations. One of the women on this unguided "guided tour" of Saint Catherine broke her foot and there was nobody around to take responsibility. Don't risk your life with this irresponsible company.

Visited Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine, with Jimmy as my tour guide. He did a wonderful job explaining Egyptian history to me. He was extremely helpful, assisting me during my mountain climb as I struggle with anxiety. This was a culturally immersive tour, prepare to learn and grow. Please be in relatively good shape prior to touring or climbing the mountain. Yes, they have camels, but not for the entire mountain trip. I visited from the United States. The cultural differences were challenging for me, and if you are a picky eater or have dietary restrictions, bring your own food. For those who struggle with debilitating anxiety, it may not be advisable to go.
Tyron H — Google review
Did 2 tours with them. Petra Day trip and Sunrise Mount Sinai Hike/Saint Catherine Monastery Tours. The staff were friendly and helpful. Both trips went relatively well. Giving 2 stars because I realize that I paid double the price compared to what some other foreign travelers paid for the Mount Sinai hike. Understand that some tour agencies charge higher prices but this difference was much to be ignored.

El Bells - Blue Hole

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Swimming pool
Nature & Parks
El Bells - Blue Hole is a renowned dive site located 8km north of Dahab, Egypt. The Blue Hole is a striking sinkhole that plunges straight down, possibly reaching depths of 130m. While experienced technical divers can explore the deeper sections, there's plenty to see near the surface with abundant marine life around the outer lip. Snorkeling and diving are accessible from El Bells without harming the reef, thanks to a mini-canyon nearby.
Simply serenity. Great calm warm blue waters. Nice servers but not much to offer in this secluded spot. Not easy to get to. Bumpy road then a boat ride then another bumpy ride.
Ahmad A — Google review
Perhaps this «El Bells» is hyped/praised too much? Too much mystic about it? The "chimney" turns out to be a deep vertical crack in the dropping wall, leading downward to 30+ meters. It is open out to the sea all the way, so you practically don't swim in a «chimney» such many have thought it should be.
Vinh N — Google review
One of the most beautiful places in the world for diving and snorkeling.
Yossi E — Google review
I like when I dive through the tunnel. It takes around 3 minutes from the surface to the exit of El bells. You need to keep equalise as it go deep directly. But it’s not that scaring and difficult. Just very narrow. Be careful not to break anything. When you exit, you will dive follow the cliff to Blue hole. If the weather is good, that part is so beautiful! I have no photo and videos as I lost Osmo4 at here. Hope you to find mine! Lol
Mothusi — Google review
Try hiking the mountains next to the fast boat meeting point. The view is magical up there. Taking a fast boat to Abu Galoum from here is very unorganized, its not safe for pregnant women, children or anyone with back problems. It costs EGP 120 per person for two-way trip to Abu Galoum excluding car rides.
Passant E — Google review
Just before the boats to Abu Galoum, there are some wooden posts: that's the bells. Here you can enter for snorkeling/diving to the Blue Hole, without destroying the reef, as there is a mini-canyon. When you look down, it's really deep right away, its great. From here you can follow the reef up to where it slopes down, where you go over the reef into the blue hole, which you can exit at the stairs. The reef here is probably even nicer than the actual blue hole.
Ewoud — Google review
Honestly not worth visiting. Diving at lighthouse in Dahab is much better. The Blue hole is so big and steep, that cannot even see the complete hole unless you have a drone. The beach is just rocks and the place is stressful and just has bunch of big restaurants - a real tourist trap unless you are diving. You can take a taxi/truck from or to Dahab for something like 100 EGP, or a boat to Abu Gulum for 50 EGP. But usually it is visited as part of a snorkeling trip.

Raju B — Google review
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.

In 1993 or 1994, they numbered 3 people who were coming by bus from Cairo to Nuweiba, then by ship to a port in Jordan, then to Saudi Arabia, and they took tickets from Egypt to Nuweiba for the ferry ( A ship transporting passengers and luggage. 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.

Colored Canyon

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.

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. ✨

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

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.

10km away from the chill city center of Aqaba. In this area, you can swim and explore more of the Red Sea overlooking Palestine and Egypt. Visiting the area to catch the sunset, a lot of locals and tourists alike are doing the most, like some are barbecuing, snorkeling, having snacks and taking rest. Beyond the area, you can also explore more areas of the beach.

Great place to snorkle, we went with our kids (6 and 7 yo), and there was a lot of life in the coral reefs. This beach could have been so much better if just people took care of it and threw trash in the trash bins. There were so many trash bins, spaced litterally a few meters apart. Still people throw things in the sand - the photo is the result of just a few minutes cleaning work in the area where we layed in the sand. And still one of our girl cut their toe on one of these sharp can-lids. Recommend beach-shoes. There are toilet facilities, but bring your own toilet paper (if you don’t like the dousch). A few local men were renting snorkling equipment. It is a beautiful location and since it is free it is well worth a visit, keeping everything above in mind.

We visited this public beach earlier today as we didn’t feel like spending 30/13 JOD for a day pass at Tala Bay Resort/Berenice Beach Club that are right next door. Japanese garden is a truly amazing snorkeling spot with a lot of life in the coral reefs. The beach has all the necessary amenities such as showers, toilets, benches, sunshades and a playground for kids. There is also a possibility to rent snorkeling equipment and have lunch.

Great spot to see the Cedar Pride shipwreck. Even when just snorkeling, you can see it very clearly when the sun is out. The ship is located between the 2 red buoys, out from the pier.

You should come to snorkel, but find other places for a family trip to the beach. Free. Dirty, lots of cigarette butts and trash. The shore is very rocky. Wonderful, clear, warm water.

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!

We came with our family. The staff was always attentive to us. The entertainment team, in particular, is fantastic. You won't have a moment to spare. They're all so friendly, respectful, fun, and do their jobs with the utmost quality. There's no chance of boredom here. They also take exceptional care of the kids. 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.

Princess Beach

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Princess Beach, located near the Coral Beach Nature Reserve, offers a family-friendly environment with convenient access to snorkeling areas. The beach features iron walkways leading into clear waters, making it popular for snorkeling and diving to observe coral and fish. Additionally, visitors can join guided snorkeling tours in the coral reef or try surfing experiences such as wind, kite, and wing surfing. The wild coast of Princess Beach is reminiscent of untouched beaches with beautiful mountains and blue water.
A good place in Eilat for snorkeling. Easy access to the water through 2 bridges that leads to the snorkeling area. Be aware it is a bit outside of the city and there's no where to buy food or drinks, so bring your own.
Avishay A — Google review
Free, yes but not at the same level than the close Nature Reserve. If you like snorkeling and you prefer to save the 10 bucks of the entrance fee at the Coral Beach Nature reserve, so this is the place to be. There are showers, toilets, but not that many parking spaces. Still the landscape is incredible, especially at sunset. And swimming in the red sea is simply the thing.
Dan M — Google review
Princess Beach is an unofficial beach, which means no lifeguards, no supervision, and very limited facilities. The place isn’t well maintained – there’s a lot of rust, the pier is closed to entry, and there are no proper showers or restrooms. Shade is provided only by simple white fabric covers. Parking can also be difficult, especially on hot days, and there’s just one small kiosk that accepts cash only (no apps or credit cards). On the positive side, the underwater world is stunning. The beach offers free access to some of the most beautiful corals and a wide variety of marine life in Eilat – truly a snorkeler’s dream. * Pros: Free, amazing marine life and corals, great snorkeling. * Cons: No lifeguards, poor maintenance, cash-only kiosk, hard parking, no showers/restrooms. In short: if you’re looking for comfort and services, this isn’t the place. But if you want a free natural spot with breathtaking underwater sights, Princess Beach is highly recommended.

There were closed toilets, no showers. Beach was little. The piers were closed. We didn’t swim there, so i cant’t rate the undersea life. I do not recommend for tourists. Go to another beach.

One of the best beaches to scuba dive in Eilat, we are coming here every year in the last week of August. Sitting on the beach, relaxing with a cold beer during sunset is amazing !!!
Raphael M — Google review
The beach itself is a great place to swim and snorkel. The water is really clean and clear. It is also located right on the boarder of Egypt so technically your swimming on the line between 2 counties. For anyone who was wondering; The reason they call this beach the Princess Beach and not The Taba Boarder Beach is because of the abandoned hotel next to it. It used to be an amazing hotel with a private beach front until it closed down.

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.
Hanan D — Google review
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.

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

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.
Lior S — Google review
The world northernmost coral reef, really! Right at your foot steps in eilat, Jordan has none. 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!

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.

Great place. Amazing biodiversity, the beach is nice and convenient. The corals are very close, and you can almost touch them (but you shouldn't). If you don't swim it is still nice to look on the fish and corals from the pier. There are lockers with USB charging stations, and the place is very relaxing.

Great low cost alternative for a hotel, you set up your tent here and get a portable ac to keep you cool at night (a must during the summer months). Showers and restrooms also available (and clean).

Short walk around an area in the desert just south of Eilat. Loved being able to ride a camel at least once in my life. Nice little snack of handmade flat bread on an item fire and olives afterward too. Half the staff were really nice, the others... well, it must have been a rough week for them or something.

We used the self tent area, and got to use all facilities and also got small air conditioner to the tent. It was awesome, we slept perfect, price was very low - 50 shekels per person. On the perimeter you can find toilets and showers (privet cells), kitchen with fridge and frizzer, a lot of barbecue for use, many nice sitting areas. Very close to the sea and all the diving and kitesufeing areas and clubs , very quite at night, not close to the city (for us its an advantage). Best way to camp in Eilat.

We came for a short camel ride (~$12 pp) which was very nice. Later, the camel handler let us feed the camels and goats with crackers. There's a small cantina where we got some popsicles. Better to get there before noon or 11am when the heat is still bearable. They have other activities like buggy rides and an extreme park for kids.

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.

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.

Most of the place is shaded and even if it full there's enough chairs and place for everyone:)

Mosh Beach is a vibrant sandy beach offering stunning mountain views and a relaxed atmosphere. The area is dotted with laid-back restaurants serving meze and vegan dishes, creating a chill vibe. Visitors can unwind on cushions and wooden tables under the trees, sipping on smoothies or enjoying a glass of wine or beer. It's advisable to arrive in the afternoon or early morning to secure a spot and bask in the serene ambiance.
Amazing place, gets the best of Sinai bedouine camps and Israeli luxury. You can easily spend the entire day at this place or leave and watch your place gets taken in a blink of an eye by visitors preying on free location. Their dishes seem pricey at first but impressively well done and filling. The staff and visitors are all in a good mood, our dog was a big hit with everyone and got so many pets. Not much coral in the water, but large schools of fish gather nearby sometimes. Highly recommend the Sabich, the Jahnun at saturday and the Ice Coconut with espresso.

Well, I finally got to Mosh's beach. The truth is that now I'm back in the East for a year and I really felt like I was in the East, but also in Israel, an amazing beach, fun to get in the water, a great atmosphere, highly recommended to everyone who hasn't been to the East, a great place for delicious food.

Mosh is a nice hippie beach restaurant in Eilat. The prices for food are reasonable. Reggae music and lots of flies. The beach itself is, like anywhere in this town, not so great. It's small, with fences and pebbles. I have been to much better beaches around the world. But I like the hippie vibes and the unfiltered draft beer. Cheers.

Definitely the greatest and coolest restaurant/bar in Eilat - 420 friendly :) Amazing ambiance, outdoor tables under trees and on the beach with great views on the see and Eilat golf. The waiters are very friendly, food is very tasty. On Friday and Saturday morning i strongly recommend the Shekshuka (crushed tomatos cooked with oignons, garlic and eggs). It is served with salad and a whole "Hala" (traditional Shabat bred)/ Price are very very fair, which for this kind of place, is very surprising.

Good clean beach. Chairs are 10 shekels/chair, sunbathing chair 20. Nice food at the restaurant on the beach. Make sure to grab slippers or wet shoes to enter the sea. It's either really hot to walk on the send or really painful to walk on little sharp stones. And bring water:)

2022: Well structured for the beach lover. Clean bathrooms. Good bar service. The site is split into two different styles: - north side has a large wooden deck, suited for those who want to sit by the tables, close to the bar and restaurant; - south side is rustically styled, with straw shades (and also a large canvas tent during summertime). There is chair, table and sunbed rental service available at official prices on both sides. During summertime they also place a floating deck with sunbathing sofas and cushions for rent. Entry to water is made through carpets on definite corridors in order to prevent visitors from revolving the stones and corals, which is a nice idea. Updated 10/23: entry to the water had been improved by them having removed the larger stones from under those carpets as it was quite impossible not to stumble on them, once we were never able to know where they were. Updated 3/25: The place is clean, beach service has improved. The floating deck isn't there as summer hasn't begun, the beach bar is run by a nice team, and Anna is always serving with her sweet smile and kindness. The only negative points are the lack of trash pots really close to the waterline, as the typical Israeli is spoiled and used to litter and then have someone around to clean and collect after them. Also dog owners are requested to have them leashed at the entrance and then leave them to circulate freely among the bathers, peeing on or even pooing at chairs, sunbeds and even on people's bags, towels and clothes, something unacceptable. Updated 25/4/2025: The entrance to the water is downgraded as the carpets have been relocated over the rolling stones. I could not find the previous southern path which was comfortable and ready to walk in as the stones had been removed before the setting of the carpet. It's now very hard to walk on it, as the stones under the carpet make it uncomfortable and unbalancing for those to walk in the path. The beach also still lacks trashcans close to the waterline, as the existing ones are located about 8-10 meters from it; I've seen many pieces of paper, plastic cups and popsicle wrap on the sand. Anyway it's still the best beach in Eilat.

Decent beach with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Free entrance, public washrooms are clean. The restaurant has average prices but not too high for beach side. Food is delicious, we had the fried cauliflower and salmon wrap, Turkish coffee and an orange-carrot drink, all for 132NIS with tip included. There is plenty of parking and you can rent a lounge chair or regular chair. Swimming isn’t recommended here because there is no lifeguard but some people went in anyways. Sand is a bit rocky but water looks nice and clear. Some sand flies here and there, wheel chair accessible entrance.

The best beach in Eilat! Quiet and relaxed (at least during mid March), great bar and sea view, lots of shade and trees. Enjoy a good Shakshuka in the morning :)
Guy ש — Google review
I gave a low score because of my expectations. Maybe they were too high. Not sure. I come from Haifa. In Haifa the beaches have sand when you enter the water, here there are rocks, so you better bring footware to enter the water. The area of the beach is also very small and no free shade on the sand. There are no changing rooms, so we had to change in the toilets which is very strange for a beach. Showers were only outdoor ones - also very strange IMO. So if you expect to have a changing room, indoor showers where you can get naked, free shade and easily to enter the water without shoes - this place sucks. Otherwise the water is nice, and I had fun swimming here nontheless.

The taxi service provided by Taxi Aqaba Jordan receives a high recommendation from customers. It is praised for its exceptional professionalism and availability, making travelers feel welcomed and well-assisted throughout their journey. The drivers are skilled professionals who ensure safe travel at an affordable price. Additionally, the service offers assistance with necessary paperwork for entry into Jordan and return to Saudi Arabia.
It was a very good and wonderful experience with the driver Alaa. He helped us with directions in Jordan to the places we chose for our trip. I truly wish him success in this field because he is an amazing person and very quick when it comes to shooting. If anyone wants to go there, I would choose him without thinking twice.

Look, I'm not really a mall person - but if you DO want some tax free shipping that is pretty stress free, this is a good place. A/c is good, bathrooms are clean, and the upstairs coffee place is very good, if seating is a bit congested. Stores tend to be well maintained and proximity to sea is nice. Also good parking!

(Translated by Google) Like all the beaches in the center of Eilat, they are dirty, dirty beyond belief, with broken glass. The local mayor's office placed a large device on these beaches and farmed it out to wretched cafes, private bandits (20 shekels for a sunbed) and hotels along the coast. There is complete chaos on the beaches, people smoke, drink vodka, music and noise from 7 am until 2.3 am. For the City Hall and the state, it is not on the map - arrogant indifference. Not a soul. and a construction site with bullets and dirt All men and boys of all ages in pissed and shitty panties under their shorts climb into the pool, the sea, everywhere, as in all of Israel. I don’t understand why everywhere it says only swimsuits and swimming trunks? (Original) Как и все пляжи , в центре Эйлата , засраны, грязные до нельзя, битое стекло. Местная мерия , положила на эти пляжи большой прибор, и отдало на откуп, убогим кафеюшкам , бандитам частникам ( 20 шек лежак) и гостиницам вдоль берега. На пляжах полный беспредел, курят , пьют водку, музыка и шум с 7 утра и до 2,3, часов ночи, Для Мерии и государства его нет на карте- наглый пофигизм. Не душа . и стройка с пулью и грязью Все мужики и пацаны всех возростов в зассаных и обосраных трусах под шорты лезут в бассейн , море ,везде, как и во всем Израиле.

The Musical Fountain Eilat is a must-see attraction in the city. It is the largest musical fountain in Israel, featuring 350 water jets that reach up to 30 meters and are illuminated by 400 colorful LED lamps. The fountain offers a captivating show that lasts for about 15-20 minutes, accompanied by classic and modern music compositions.

Musical Fountain In Eilat very nice and free attraction at night time for all family, especially for kids. Every show is 15 minutes of long and it's beginning at 20:30. It's show of water with led lights around and popular music in Hebrew and English. It's nice entertainment in the area. Anyway if you in Eilat it's a good place to visit and see the musical fountain by yourself, enjoy.
David — Google review
Started with a great vibe of popular music in English and then moved to old Hebrew popular songs. Really missing some classical music in my taste and can use less Hebrew songs. The fountain bearly reacts to the songs (if at all). Still was nice to sit in the air and hear some music in the middle of the town 😬

Nice musical and lights spectacle. Unexpected in a city where water is so important for survival. I hope the water is reused. It's nice for tourism, because important cities in Europe has one of these. Please put a sign with the schedule of the fountain. It starts at 20:30 and lasts 15 min.

Very nice experience for the kids, the music is nice for the most parts, the sprinklers are pretty coordinated with the music, for those of you that saw these acts in Europe or the US won't be as impressed. But overall very nice place to hand out, the kids were having a great time watching the show, taking pictures with the stone fish or just running around in the grass
Avi M — Google review
Very underwhelming. Lasts about 30 minutes and it’s a mix of American top 40 and Israeli music. The lights were just kind of on....the fountains just kind of went up and down....if you’re in the neighbourhood and need somewhere to sit than I’d say go. But no need to go out of your way.

Hananya Beach, nestled along the stunning Red Sea coast in Eilat, is a charming pebble beach and marina that promises an unforgettable seaside experience. This family-friendly destination welcomes visitors with its free entry and offers a plethora of amenities including loungers, umbrellas, playgrounds for kids, and various water sports rentals. The calm and shallow waters make it an ideal spot for families to enjoy swimming safely.
A very beautiful and cozy small beach surrounded by palm trees and restaurants near the hotels on the one side, and a lagoon with beautiful yachts and tourist shopping area with numerous outlets - on the other. The water is good, clean and pleasant, but there can be stones near the shore. The best option that I can advise everyone is to buy rubber shoes in a store near the beach specially for beaches. Pleasure and comfort for the feet are guarantee.

Nice place they offer various water attractions. We did parasailing. The place is quite expensive, but the instructors were really nice and professional. I noticed that in other places the parachute fell into the water several times, but here they managed to keep it dry and handled everything very professionally. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing time at this beach. The views are incredible, the local offerings are more than sufficient, and it is overall incredibly enjoyable. I recommend (if in a large group) hiring a boat to go out further into the red sea, it's an amazing experience and the views are once in a lifetime. You can even get a speedboat to take you out for water tubing!

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Sharif Hussein bin Ali Mosque, named after the historical figure who led the Arab Revolt, is a stunning white-marble structure with intricate glass windows and soaring minarets. It boasts an ornate, colonnaded interior and a vast dome, creating a serene courtyard. This beautiful building on Aqaba's waterfront features the largest domed roof among Jordan's mosques. Visitors are welcome outside of prayer times and are provided with hijabs if not properly dressed.
Was blessed to have the chance to pray the Jum'ah prayer at the mosque , It was holy and the speech was well needed. I love how the mosque is surrounded with a lot of nature and the architecture is on point. One tip is to increase the AC power at the women's prayer center and extra care for tidiness due daily heavy bulk visits for the mosque <3
Sara J — Google review
One of the landmarks of Aqaba and one of most well-known mosques in Jordan. The Arabic word Sharīf literally means 'elected' or 'respectable'. It became a title given to those who were charged with defending their communities. It is an honorary title of high value that was also used for Hussein Bin Ali, Sharif and Emir of Mecca from 1908 to 1917, to whom this mosque is dedicated. He declared the beginning of the Great Arab Revolt on 10 June 1916, leading the rebels and organizing the ranks of the army.

Really recommend visiting this Mosque. The staff at the gate provides us hijab because we were not properly dressed ( women need to cover their head, shoulder and arms). Take off your shoes when you enter the Mosque. Every one we encountered inside was very nice. A girl brought us all cold water. One staff asked if we have any questions so we started talking and learned a bit about Islam. It was a pity that our discussion was cut short because there was a prayer coming up so we had to leave.

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!

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.

The Botanical Garden in Eilat offers a tranquil experience with its peaceful stream, waterfalls, and walking paths. Despite its size, the garden is filled with interesting features such as outlandish trees with informative plaques detailing their origins. Visitors can explore the Rain Forest area where rain is simulated every 9 minutes, take photos at small waterfalls and unique plant species like the African baobab and giant cactus.
Definitely worth visiting. Very nice place a lot of shadow. Most of the wooden staff is made of reused wood. I would add in my personal opinion it's one of the best places to visit in Eilat.

I don't know one tree or plant from another but the attraction of this place is just comprehending that they were able to build this beautiful tropical oasis in the middle of a desert. It looks like it's been there forever. I can't even imagine the effort that went in to developing this lovely oasis from scratch. We had lovely weather on a ;day in mid-March and spent 2 hours walking the trails and relaxing in the shade, a morning of tranquility. (If you have mobility issues then it would be difficult to climb some of the steep inclines and stairs. We had no problem but be forewarned).

Its a nice little botanic garden with varied species, especially for an arid desert. Many flies around so bring some anti-mosquito cream, also obviously it's outside - so if you come when it's very hot you will have a hard time walking around.

I was truly impressed by how many plants are thriving here in the middle of the desert. You can really feel how much love, care, and hard work have been put into creating and maintaining this beautiful garden. It’s an oasis of green and peace in Eilat! The café is also a lovely surprise - great coffee, a vegan-friendly menu, and delicious homemade sweets. A perfect place to relax and enjoy nature!

Beautiful and uniqe tropical island in the desert. Plenty of adorable sitting spots and lots of shaded areas. Don't miss out the rain forest water sprinklers on hot days! The place is way above expectations for a private initiative like that.

International Birding and Research Center Eilat

Bird watching area
Nature & Parks
The International Birding and Research Center Eilat is a prime location for bird watching, situated along the migration routes between Africa and Europe. It offers well-marked routes with hides at strategic spots for optimal viewing. Established in 1984, the center was created to restore the damage caused by the disappearance of saltmarsh. Through collaborative efforts, it has been transformed into an eco-friendly bird-watching park. Visitors can witness researchers carefully examining birds before releasing them back into their natural habitat.
A local centre in Eilat (5km north of the city) focused on the studying and helping of migratory birds that pass from Eurasia to Africa (and back). Open 24/7, free entrance. BUT! Call in advance to book a local, very experienced, guide that will take you around (mandatory). 35 shekel per person or 100 per family.

The most important goal of this station is to ensure the well being and safe passage of birds migrating. Dedicated staff and volunteers.

Very peaceful trail, nice place to take family. The employees in the center were overwhelmingly friendly when we went. I also follow the center on FB and they post great bird photos. Really loved this place at sunset, will recommend to anyone traveling to Eilat.

The place looks well equipped with different habitats and nice hides but when we went in late September 2019 only one hide was accessible, the rest were closed off due to construction work and the place was deserted, with no staff around. We saw a few common waders during our visit one afternoon.

It is such an important station for migratory birds. We have not seen too many birds, since January is not the season for migration, but we still enjoyed the tranquility of the place, took a nice stroll around and read the information that are displayed all over the place. I am looking forward to returning during migration season.

We had a privat guided tour - it was really great and we learned a lot about bird migration!

The entrance is free, and the place itself is tranquil, as it should be. You can see many locals going for a silent job in the morning, enjoying the view and the singing of birds that come to eat, or simply living here. It is not common to have a guided tour, but it will be worth it if you manage to book one. Also, you should bring or rent a binocular.

Internationally important. Hundreds of millions of birds visit the center in spring and autumn. Here they find resources to continue their migration. Come when the center is most active and come in the early morning to see the most. (This is no zoo; everything is wild and free.)
