In Naʿama Bay there is not only a particularly wide sandy beach, but also numerous hotels and an extensive nightlife.

Originally there was only accommodation for divers in Na’ama. Because of its sandy beach, the bay soon became a top destination for bathers. The sandy beach also extends far into the sea. To do this, the divers then have to swim a few meters to the coral sticks.

There are also public beaches near the beaches of the Novotel and Hilton hotels. Their use costs LE 5.
