Pro Tips
Bring waterproof camera/housing for underwater shots. Early morning golden hour (6:30-7:30 AM) and late afternoon (4:30-6 PM) provide optimal lighting. Midday 12-3 PM light harsh; avoid overhead sun. During Ramadan, evening atmosphere unique with decorated streets and lanterns. Blue hour photography (dusk 6:30-7:30 PM) captures twilight resort illumination beautifully.
