Pros and cons of visiting Paradise Island

When visiting Hurghada in Egypt, many people put visiting Paradise Island on their must-do list. Observing the popularity of the trip over the years of working in tourism, most companies will present that very trip as the most popular. But does Paradise Island worth so much attention? With the help of a guide from our travel agency, we will give you all the advantages and disadvantages of going to that place.

The advantages of visiting Paradise Island

In the first place, Paradise Island is the most visited site near Hurghada. With the appearance of excursions to Orange Bay, it seemed at one point that the situation would change. Most companies thought that the newly created beach on Giftun Island would win the hearts of the majority. But Paradise Island still fought for its first position.

Secondly, Paradise Island beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in front of Hurghada. The perfect size of sand grains does not allow the creation of a muddy bank during low tide. The light-yellow sand, leveled in the morning by the host, gives the beach golden color. With different levels of depth, different shades of blue are obtained. It’s incredibly relaxing as you sit on the shore and gaze at the sea.

Thirdly, the island kept its natural appearance. Large umbrellas with palm leaves are placed on the beach. That can perfectly protect you from the sun. Temperatures of 45 degrees, with proper skin protection, do not bother you while lying under the umbrella. There are no deckchairs but lazy bags and twine mats. So, you can play with the sand while lying and sunbathing.

Not to mention the fact that the beach is beautifully decorated with swings in the water and on the sand, beds with canopies, and various details interesting for taking pictures. Going to the island in the early hours will allow you to take pictures in all those attractive places without a long wait.

Finally, the beach staff is professional and helpful. During your stay on the island, you will be visited by promoters of hookah, ice cream, and cocktails that you can use while you are on the island. In combination with swimming in clear sea water and enjoying the sun, these refreshments will come in handy.

Disadvantages of visiting Paradise Island

Unfortunately, during a classic excursion to Paradise Island, only an hour and a half remain on the beach. The rest of your time will not be uninteresting. You will do snorkeling on the beautiful coral reefs, and cruising in the most beautiful sea and water sports. However, guests who want to go on a full-day excursion must take a speedboat trip that will take them to the island in just 20 minutes. Another option is to make a reservation for all day tour of Paradise Island. That asks for more money, but for the beach, lovers are the best option.

One more thing that can be a disadvantage for some guests is if it is included diving in the tour. Many guests like to see and try several different activities in one day. That is why the option of going to the island and diving once instead of snorkeling was introduced. In that situation, the hold on a single reef can be more than average, which may seem like an unnecessary stop to non-divers. If you are impatient, ask the sales agent not to put you on board with those guests.

Conclusion 

All things considered; Paradise Island is the top destination when you are visiting Hurghada. Don’t miss seeing it! There are many beautiful beaches in the world and my opinion visiting Paradise Island can be a beautiful experience while in Egypt.
