    Very good snorkeling area
    Very good sea snorkeling area. I would recommend to go on the right side first, beautiful corals and the left side more phishes. Anyway It's a must if you are around. About one hour from Mars Alam.

    Sharm El luli and Ras Haunkroab
    Sharm El Lulu is awesome with alot!!! Of amazing exploration. You got to see it they sell cool bra silts and more with a little tuff prices but awesome beach. The beach has no big waves they have lots of Corel and fish inside a little deeper the water gets hot ! When you move you find some sea shells on your way we would take some but not allowed .😞 Please give 5 stars and rate its takes like and hour or more plz visit Bye😋

    Beautiful Beach
    Ras Hankorab Beach (AKA Sharm Elluli) is one of the most beautiful beaches ever! The entrance is kinda hidden, but you'll find a sign for it. From the main road, you'll take a narrow, unpaved, and unmarked road. Any car can make it, but drive carefully.

    TEN REMINDERS OF WHAT NOT TO FORGET.
    1. Sun cream, sun glasses and a hat because the sun can be relentless. Sharm El Luli really is in Egypt's Deep South, and just one degree from the Tropic of Cancer - currently at approximately 23'30 North. The sun is unforgiving in summer and you can get burned even in mid-winter ! 2. Sensible clothing that will keep you protected from the sun including, if your are vulnerable to sun burn, a t-shirt for snorkeling. Also bring sensible shoes for walking so that you don't cut your feet on the occasional sharp rocks. 3. Bring a mat or rug for the sand or even some large extra towels - as there are no sun beds or deck chairs on the beach. 4. Bring plenty of soft drinks and some large bottles of drinking water. If you don't need it, there probably be someone else who will. A cooler bag if you have one would be great - or if not you can ask the hotel kitchen in the morning if they can give you some ice in a water proof bag to store the drinks. 5. There is almost no shade available so, if you must have shade, ask if your guide can bring a beach umbrella. 6. Bring toilet paper - there are no toilets ! 7. Don't forget your snorkeling equipment (if your guide isn't bringing any) as well as swimwear and a towel. 8. An underwater camera will be great but even an ordinary camera is a must - If you want a new profile photo on Facebook - your portrait against the crystal clear blue waters of Sharm El Luli will really stand out. 9. Bring a little money as although there are no shops there are some Bedouin women who sell traditional jewelry including beads and necklaces. It's difficult to say what they're worth - but with tourist numbers currently very low - it's good to be generous. 10. Don't forget to take everything you'll need to keep the children happy - there are no facilities and no kids club or other entertainments in the area.

    The best beach ever.
    The beach is very beautiful with white sand and blue water. We went here afternoon and we were here only people on the whole beach.

    This is such an amazing place, crystal clear waters. Perfect for swimming, diving and snorkelling. Take your own towels, water and food as there are no shops around. Also, no bathrooms or showers.

    Amazing diversity in this reef with hard and soft corals
    Great long reef, suited for snorkeling and diving. The beginning of the reef is a little nursery where you can see mini trigger fish, mini clown fish and mini box fish.

    Family holiday
    I loved looking through all of your pictures it only let me put the date back to Feb 2015 but it was April 2013 myself and my family visited Marsa Alam and part of my heart will always belong in this beautiful country with these beautiful thoughtful extreamly helpful and very hardworking people not a day goes by I don't think of them and my stay there and how I wish I could be there again I made many friends with the lovely people who worked in the resort we stayed at and 3 years later I still speak to them and I'm really hoping myself and my family can visit with them again soon :) if anyone is looking for a fantastic resort to stay in while visiting Marsa Alam I can't recommend Akassia Swiss Resort highly enough the staff are all lovely and cannot do enough to make your stay as enjoyable as possible they really do work there socks off! The grounds are immaculate as are the rooms which are cleaned every day the rooms were being refurbished while we were staying and we were moved to a better suite at no cost half way through our stay and they couldn't do enough for us or apologise enough to us they really were lovely it was no trouble moving it didn't ruin our holiday in anyway and the kids thought it was an adventure! Haha! I would go back tomorrow and stay forever if I could 😃❤️

Definitely worth the visit, the sea is so clear. There is not much to do on this beach other than snorkel, also no places to eat. We took a taxi here and had to pay some sort of fee to get into the area.

If you drive yourself, there is a catch: the place you want to reach is in fact HANKORAB BEACH

I first stopped at Sharm El Luli... a few minutes later, 2 uniformed servicemen arrived and asked me to leave (it's actually forbidden to stop there)

But a few km South I turned to Hankorab Beach, and discovered the white sand and turquoise water... The place is absolutely fantastic, probably the best beach I've seen in Egypt
