We went to Al Dar Islands several times and even took visitors coming from home. Definitely go during spring/autumn. Lovely beach and nice place to relax. I didn't feel like the water was that clean, not sure ... but the boat ride across was super fun. You can also camp there if you like, seemed to be a popular option... More

Man made beach area with a couple of cafes, nothing special but ok for a day. Service very good though and beers as they should be - ice cold!

We stayed at this beautiful & peaceful island last weekend. I have to say it exceeded what I would expect from 5 star hotel, but no where near the prices charged in 5 star accommodation. It was clean well maintained, and the staff, were so helpful from the minute we arrived. we didn't even have to move off the beach... More

It all depends on your previous experience in travelling. Having seen spectacular islands around the world, Al Dar Island is average. But overall its a nice visit if the weather is good. All types of water sports are available, and is a great destination for that crisp tan !

The island smells bad, poorly maintained and not much activities.
