    Zeytouna Beach

    Walk the 350-metre pier across the lagoon to Zeytouna Beach. The water is calm inside the reef, making it a peaceful start before the evening crowds arrive.

  2. 15:57

    ZOUNI Beach

    Head to ZOUNI Beach in Mangroovy. It is a beach club with loungers and a seafood restaurant. The sun is high, so you can relax on a lounger and enjoy fresh Red Sea catch before the heat breaks.

  3. 16:42

    Le Garage

    Walk to Le Garage at Marina Beach. This burger joint is open until midnight. Grab a bite and a drink here to watch the sun dip below the horizon toward the WSW.

    Marina Beach

    Stroll along Marina Beach between the New Marina and Abu Tig. The golden light reflects off the water and the yachts. Stay here as the sky shifts from orange to deep blue.

Local tip

ZOUNI Beach closes at 18:00, so arrive before then to ensure you have time for your meal. Le Garage is a good spot for a casual post-sunset wind-down.
