Join us to visit Qulan Beach, Sharm el Lulli, and Nayzak Beach, which features a natural pool shaped like a human eye, about 1.5 meters deep. This pool, likely formed by a meteorite impact, appears as if it was crafted by human hands.

The water in Nayzak is air-temperature and boasts stunning, colorful corals. It is called Egypt’s hidden treasure and by locals, the falling star.

The beach is free of umbrellas, loungers, or other typical amenities, making it a true paradise untouched by civilization.

During the trip, you will also see mangrove forests, whose roots create amazing structures.
