Can you swim in the open sea near the hotel, and how do you get to a clear beach?

For open-sea swimming, head to the Corniche coast, where travelers report clear Persian Gulf water. Bus 175 stops by the hotel and goes there.

Bus 175 takes roughly one hour to reach the coast. It has air conditioning and comfortable seats, but you need a Hafilat transport card before boarding.

Check the hotel’s waterfront type before booking: in this case, it is on a seawater canal with no direct access to the open sea. The sea water can also be very warm.
