Very nice house reef and some very good dives nearby (Abu Dabbab & Elphinstone). The staff is great and the food is very nice too. The location is very quiet and all you have to think of is dive, relax or eat.

Warning: if you like to swim, Nakari might not be the best location. Because of sea currents, the little bay on which the resort sits is filled with garbage and it is very rocky. It is possible to dip in the water, but you don't stay there for long.

Most visitors come for the diving (Nakari is also a diving centre), but it is possible to just sit on the beach and read a book. The food at the restaurant is delicious and varied. Nakari is quite a distance from Marsa Alam, the nearby town, and there are not a lot of activities to do there, so be prepared if you don't dive.

There is a small souvenir shop (postcards, t-shirts), and prices are all in euros. These items are prohibitive when compared to regular Egyptian prices, although relatively cheap for European standards (postcard at Nakari is 1 euro, but 0.12 euro in Cairo, for example).

Just back from Nakari Village with my daughters, and if it's good diving, a bountiful house reef, delicious food, peace and cleanliness you're after, this is the place for you. We booked with Dolphin Swim company and the holiday included a trip to Abu Dabub to swim with the turtles, 3 full day trips out by boat from Marsa Alam to the Dolphin House Marine Park reef, where we spend an amazing 3 and a half hours one day swimming and playing with many dolphins, and a couple of visits to the main sister village Shagra nearby. Our guide, rep and now friend, Khaled, was so helpful and ensured we got the best from our time there. Nakari is small and friendly, nothing but sea and sand to the front and desert and mountains to the back. Lovely!

Had a fabulous week at Nakari. The food is outstanding here so much effort has gone into it and it shows. A bit more fun and relaxed than Shagra, they could do with injecting it back there too. Preferred the house reef at Shagra but still had some fabulous dives. Do the trip to dolphin house. Incredible diving plus the chance to snorkel with the dolphins, we were lucky and did, informative trip. Do take the time to wander along the beach and pick up the litter, it's amazing what you find. Sadly all washed in from the liveaboards but not in horrendous amounts, every little stroll with a bag helps. Definitely could do with A/C in the en suite huts. Finally found out the best way to sleep was with my feet at the head of the bed so I was closer to the fan. Stunning sunsets to be seen too. Tip, plenty of insect repellent on in the evenings here.
