This is why everyone should visit some of those beaches before exploring other parts of the city. In fact, the regent office and local grand mosque reside near to those beaches!

Still, the best location is by the shore, so tourists can also enjoy the breeze of the sea wind. Another great idea is to buy some traditional snacks and drinks while watching the sunset! The most recommended ones are sweet local coffee and Tetu (a local sweet porridge).
