Sedir Island - We anchor at the island around 10:30 am. Our guests who wish can purchase the entrance ticket to Cleopatra beach, which is offered for sale on our boat. Guests who do not want to go to the beach can spend time on our boat. We stay on the island for two and a half hours. You can visit many ancient city ruins or swim and sunbathe on the magnificent Cleopatra beach. We leave the island around 12:30 - 13:00 and set off again with our boat.
One of a trio, this famous islet (also known as Sedir Island) is home to a beach where, according to legend, Egypt’s pharaoh queen, Cleopatra, bathed with her lover Mark Anthony, sometime in the 2nd century BC. The story goes that Anthony ordered the sands from Egypt as a gift to his mistress — a tale perhaps borne out by the present-day sand. Made up of tiny, smooth seashells, it’s of a type that typically only hails from the Red Sea.
Swim and snorkel in the crystalline waters, polish your tan, or stroll to the Roman ruins that lie nearby. -
