In southern Egypt's Wadi Al-Gemal protectorate, which sits on over 7,450 square kilometres of land, lie two beaches featuring exquisite natural beauty, clear waters and an array of wildlife co-existing with their eco-friendly human counterparts.
The beaches of Qulaan and Ras Hancorab each have their own unique charm: at low tide, Qulaan reveals four sandy, golden islands, with a touch of green mangrove trees growing out of the sea; Ras Hancourab is farther off the road, with mountains and a stretch of water so clear that one can discern sea creatures from above the surface.
Near the Wadi Al-Gemal protectorate, meanwhile, which lies closer to Marsa Alam, lies the Naizak, a natural pool surrounded by mountains near the seashore.
