Sharm El Luli (Hankorab Beach) is located within Wadi El Gemal National Park, one of Egypt’s most important protected areas. This national park covers both desert landscapes and marine environments, creating a unique combination of ecosystems in which desert and sea life coexist. The park’s primary mission is to preserve its natural beauty, biodiversity, and fragile habitats, ensuring that both wildlife and coral reefs remain healthy for future generations.

The waters surrounding the beach are home to vibrant coral gardens, diverse reef fish, and marine species such as sea turtles and occasionally dugongs (sea cows). The coral reefs are remarkably well-preserved due to restricted boat access and strict conservation measures. Shallow, lagoon-like areas provide safe nurseries for juvenile fish and other small creatures, making the environment especially important for the reproduction and growth of many marine species.

Beyond the underwater world, the adjacent desert areas feature unique landscapes, including sand dunes, rocky outcrops, and small desert wadis. These support specialized flora and fauna adapted to the arid environment, such as desert reptiles, migratory birds, and small mammals. The combination of desert and marine habitats makes Sharm El Luli a biodiversity hotspot and a key location for ecological studies and environmental research.
