There are no public beaches nor pools, you have to pay an overpriced ticket to get in, some beaches in Marina 5 like White Beach had a 1000 EGP ticket each for singles, which was unbelievable tbh, While "Waves" was for 600 EGP each which was also hilarious because when we got in we knew it was a rip-off, the pool beside the beach is for kids, there's just a lame DJ playing few mixes, few showers and out of service toilet, few bean bangs, and that's it.
You have to use your own beach "spot" that is assigned to your home with your own chairs and shades if you don't want to pay a ticket, if you're renting in Marina 4, you're assigned a spot only on the lake that doesn't have any waves, not the coast beach.
There was a 300 EGP pool in Marina 6 or something called Sky Pool which was kinda nice, overpriced as well but relaxing and kinda cool.
Food (and everything else, really) is overpriced with nothing actually fun to do at night. People are just wandering with their cars or sitting in cafés; you literally can't find a spot to take a nice walk at night, nowhere, as if it's not something people usually like to do on summer vacations, you could be held for questioning by security if they glance you taking a walk. In a way or another, the place is basically just a boring compound of a...
Read moreFantastic views and clear water, front of some villas there are no guards at all but swimming areas are surrounded by clear signs. water plays are there but you should bargain a little with the renters. you could easily get additional minutes or cheaper rates. night life is super nice where you can find lots of varieties for food and dishes from oriental to western dishes. The rental prices i. Marina is varied, what is known there that Marina 1 and Marina 2 are way cheaper comparing to Marina 3, 4 and 5. the rent depends on the area and location from the lake. it can starts from 1000 LE up to 6000 LE or higher. some are not worthy the value due to the bad broken furniture, so you have to be careful do not pay the complete amount at once before you check the unit. and remember each pass you can get 4 chairs and an umbrella for free, they ask for the owner of the pass but indeed after some nagging you can get that even you are not the owner of the pass. Hectic each time you leave Marina to buy something and again at the gates they check the pass etc. For that reason is way better to rent in other village where you can avoid...
Read moreAbout my experience there I went during the last feast el adha it was very very crowded with people , you have to to wait in a very large and long line in order to enter from the gates and also people everywhere full of people and this is not good for families or for women to walk in convenience way so I suggest that if you want to visit marina even from 1 to 7 to go in other days not in occasions and the good side you can find find a lot of things there like restaurants and cafes and the live there is amazing absolutely and they also have a nice Island to sit there and about the stuff there I have no idea where are they there is no security or there is no staff to help you with anything and this is a bad thing also and about the gates the security there is not good they also fighting with people in front of everyone and say a very bad words and this is not good for...
