SHARK BAY

Also known as Shark's Bay or Beit al-Irsh, this low-key resort camp is about 5 km north of Na'ama Bay. Located on a pebbly beach from which you can walk in to some quite good snorkelling, it is particularly popular with Germans and Israelis, most of whom dive a nearby 15 to 20m deep canyon with the Embark dive club there. Unfortunately, the solitary bliss of this place has been spoilt a bit thanks to the new Pyramiza Hotel being built right on the doorstep.
