You can explore the rolling sands and oases either on the back of a camel or quad-bike, depending on how fast you’d like to go. Though there are diving opportunities available from the hotel, the well-renowned Chloe’s Diving Centre is just a matter of minutes away, where you can book an unforgettable ocean adventure further afield. For a change of pace, the old city of El Dahar is found just a 24 minutes’ drive away. Here, you can experience a place steeped in history with traditional Egyptian bazaars and quaint cafés and restaurants aplenty.
