You step out of the air‑conditioned van into heat that smells faintly of salt and spice: Naama Bay’s promenade hums with clinking plates, and the Red Sea pushes a cool promise just beyond the palm line. The guide threads the group through Old Market alleys—bright textiles, brass lamps, and a newly built mosque whose clean lines change the market’s rhythm—then lifts you up to Genena City for a panoramic view over Naama’s curving bay before the evening lights and fountains of Soho Square take over.
