Sharm El Luli 'Hanqurab', Nayzak & Qulaan Mangroves

place Marsa Alam

The Qulaan trip. The best of three worlds!

The photogenic Qulaan mangrove forest, a footstep away from the Red Sea, is a part of the Wadi El eamal National Park, a protected area very rich in biological diversity. The Qulaan mangrove forest protects the shore against coastal waves, preventing land erosion. It has turned into a shelter and nursery and became a nesting ground for coastal birds. Qulaan’s unquestionable landmark is its majestic odd-shaped mangrove tree, towering above the lake.

A camp with lunch tent and shop, owned by the local Al Ababda tribe, adds the typical Bedouin flavor of Qulaan. Here you can buy amazing handcrafts or have a delicious ‘gabana’ coffee, freshly roasted in your presence in authentic ambiance.

During this intriguing adventure we will also put on our mask and fins and wade effortlessly into the water, straight from the stone free beach to appreciate the fifty shades of blue at Sharm El Luli or Ras Hankorab! After two minutes of swimming in the company of your snorkeling guide, you are entering an amazing world that looks like a magical underwater forest. This is splendor in the true sense of the word.

The coral formations and marine life at Sharm El Luli are truly amazing. The riot of colors, the shapes and the sizes of dozens of different corals are just stunning. Once you’ve completed your snorkeling adventure, pamper yourself with chill out time in the Bedouin tent on the gorgeous white beach. Should you fancy a souvenir, than you cannot miss out the Bedouin women selling traditional beads and necklaces.

To top off our tour of the best of three worlds, our next stop is at the intriguing lake of Nayzak. Urban legend has it the lake is a result of the impact of a meteorite. Regardless, it is a beautiful, natural rock pool, shaped like an eye and as if filled by turquoise blue tears from above. The enchanting scenery is definitely worth to get off the beaten track. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem!
