Only accessible by boat. Hire a felucca (sailboat) or motorboat from the Corniche. Trip takes 15-20 minutes. Negotiate price beforehand.
There is a small animal section, but reports indicate poor conditions (chained monkeys, crocodiles in tiny cages). Many visitors skip this section. Main attraction is the nature and fruit.
