Before you choose

Is this the right tour for you?

This boat day from Sharm El Sheikh goes to Ras Mohammed, the southern tip of the Sinai, where the Gulf of Suez meets the Gulf of Aqaba. It was declared Egypt's first marine reserve in 1983 and covers about 480 square kilometres of land and sea.

The boat stops at reef walls inside the park for snorkelling, with optional dives for certified divers, and at White Island, a sandbar that appears in the open sea. Lunch is served on board.

The national park fee, snorkelling equipment and the boat's size are confirmed in your quote. On windy days the captain chooses the most sheltered sites.

Our advice

Good snorkellers get the most from the reef walls; weaker swimmers should ask for a guide and a life jacket.

How the day runs

At the southern tip of the Sinai two gulfs meet, and the reef drops straight into deep water. Protected since 1983, Ras Mohammed is the Red Sea as the divers who made it famous first saw it.

Questions

Before you ask

Do I need to be able to dive?

No. This is a snorkelling day. Certified divers can add dives, and beginners can ask about a first try-dive.

What if the sea is rough?

The captain moves to sheltered sites or, rarely, the port closes the sea. We confirm the day before.
