Shatee El Gharam (Lovers' Beach)
شاطئ الغرام
A small bay on the northwest side of the lagoon, with rocks and fine sand, clear water, and a favourite spot for locals to watch the sunset.
Lovers' Beach lies northwest of the city, near the entrance to the bay. Its name comes from a legend that an old Egyptian film was shot here. The bay is small, and rocks enclose calm, clear water, good for swimming or snorkelling among small fish. Sunsets in the evening are lovely. It is an easy stop on the way to Cleopatra Beach, and in summer there are simple shade and drink stalls.
