Beach That Resembles the Maldives in Egypt?

Dozens of Egyptian accounts on social media have circulated images claiming to show a beach in the city of Damietta in northern Egypt, set up with tents similar to those found in the Maldives. The widely shared images depict a beach adorned with tents, with illuminated pathways between them. However, these images are not related to Egypt; in fact, they belong to a tourist project on a beach in Oman. A search reveals that the images match a clip from a video posted by an Omani photographer on his Instagram account dated August 12, 2023. The accompanying caption states that it showcases a tourist project named "Osara" in Oman. This project is established in Salalah (south) on the coast of the Raysut area, managed by Omani youth. It can also be viewed through satellite images on Google Maps. The exceptional weather in this region attracts tens of thousands of tourists, especially from the Gulf, who seek refuge from the scorching summer heat in their countries.
