I stayed in the village for 4 nights in February 2024 to dive with friends. The village is not the typical red-sea resort, the chalets are basic but comfortable, with a kettle and minibar (which is not available in The-breakers hotel in Somabay), fresh water everywhere to fill your own bottle. The hotel is very quiet, which is perfect for me. Food is superb, and the Egyptian food was like we do in home (and its rare find in Egyptian resorts), for such rooms and food, the hotel is inexpensive. The hotel has a nice reef in which you can dive at any time of the day without a guide as long as you are able to find a buddy. I rented only a wet-suit which was in good condition. The diving was not very comfortable, for example, Jetty is very small and inside the water without any shade or a place to store tanks and weights like in similar dive centers, so to dive in the house reef or to take the zodiac, you have to carry your weights, tank and fins under your arm for a good distance and do the same in the way back. We went for Dolphin House day-trip, the surface interval was on the zodiac/speed-boat which again, without any shade or toilet.
