With plenty of fish in the ponds it attracts many waders, and kingfishers and regular visits from Uligan pescar.

Comments & Tips

2025 - activities for children are being constructed at this location. One is a wooden platform walk at tree level. Not sure of entrance fee costs yet. Only open to guests staying or living in El Gouna.
