Sedir Island draws hundreds of tourists each year to its stunning shores. The island, which is visible from the air, is currently a well-liked travel destination for both domestic and foreign tourists. It is one of the crucial destinations for excursion boats.
Ships from Egypt are supposed to have brought the island’s golden sands when the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and her lover, the Roman Commander Antonius, met there. The fact that sand multiplies in water, burns when exposed to fire, and appears to move when examined under a microscope is one of its most important properties.
It is said that Cleopatra used to swim at a beach in a little bay in the northwest of the island, which Mark Anthony brought here as a gift for his beloved Cleopatra.
