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.

I would highly recommend this trip. Super value for money, great hosts, ship was lovely, great features on board changing rooms, fresh waterctobwash off the salt water, the staff are so friendly. The island itself is a MUST DO trip, from both an historical view and the sheer beauty of the island. The swims in the bays on the way back were fantastic. Crystal clear, warm waters. We wi be back next year and wi donthisctrip again. I would highly recommend and is also great for families too
