Highlights

Diving: Onsite dive center with daily diving trips

Dining: Seaview restaurant with freshest seafood dishes

Culture: Bedouin Tent offering traditional tea and shisha

Jetty: Exclusive access to private jetty for diving boats

“The village's Bedouin design creates a distinct cultural atmosphere, enhanced by direct access to a house reef known for diving; small classes allow for tailored instruction, plus a jetty offers immediate boat access, skipping the busy harbors. In my opinion, this is a great escape for families and diving fans, with comfortable cabins and easy access to prime spots such as Tiran Island. A solid choice for those seeking underwater adventures.”
