Nice views onto the public beach with eating places here giving a comfortable area to relax and look at the sea. Please note that the public beach isn't mixed so men & women are separate.

The Corniche beach has very warm turquoise colored water with white sand. It is a spectacular view with dunes & dessert in one side of the water and skyscrapers on the other. Simply amazing.

Since the weather was unexpectedly soo good in the month of may. I enjoyed spending my evenings by the waterfront. Only regret is that there is no Shisha.

Since I am a beach lover, I could not pass up the opportunity to sit in some sand and stare out at the water. Very relaxing, and lots of cafes along the boardwalk.

Corniche use to be nice few years ago, with a nice long walk by the water. The new artificial beach are the only beach in the world that closes at sunset... which is the best time to swim in the hot weather. When it is allowed to swim you have to stay within the buoys which means that at low... More
