You can come for a hike among dry canyons and mangroves, or just stay in the water—this is one of Egypt’s best snorkelling spots, with drop-offs, coral walls, and plenty of fish. Keep in mind it's desert heat, there’s no shade, and facilities are minimal—so come prepared with water, snacks, and sun protection.

Salar Jung Museum is one of the most significant museums of national importance. It houses an extensive collection of Indian and international artefacts, paintings, books, sculptures, textiles, ceramics, and more. The museum's collection was primarily sourced from the private collection of the Salar Jung family, particularly Mir Yousuf Ali Khan, also known as Salar Jung III. One of the museum's most famous attractions is the musical clock, known for its hourly performance, during which a bearded figure comes out and strikes the gong. This mechanical spectacle draws a crowd, especially around the time it is set to go off.
