Lets face it, it’s way to expensive for most people, but it’s so amazing! During turtle season the turtles come right up to the hotel. In the off season turtle sighting is not garanteed. We were so lucky as to get a discount because we knew the right people.

Also very expensive hotel but seeing turltes is garanteed. You don’t have to stay at the hotel to see the turtles, there is also a ‘campsite’ not far away but it looks unwelcoming. Expect loads of tourists, reserve ahead in the high season!!

Finally an affordable guesthouse! Nothing wrong with it. Only a shame that the beds were to heavy to put next to each other.
Our personal favorites:
- Mutrah Souq
- Wadi Shab
