A shallow turquoise lagoon of blinding white sand inside Wadi el Gemal National Park, where clownfish, puffers and groupers live on a coral reef a short swim off the beach.
It sits an hour south of the last resort strip, protected inside a national park where nothing can be built — no sunbeds, no bars, no hotels.
It's only worth the detour Mar–May & Sep–Nov. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
