More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air-conditioned bus and the Sinai wind meets you like a prelude — salt and sun, a ribbon of reef and rock unfurling toward the Gulf. Ras Mohammed National Park spreads across the tip of the Sinai Peninsula: low cliffs, mangrove fingers, and coral gardens that push right up to the shore, daring you to dive in.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Sinai sun is intense and reefs are sensitive; choose a non-nano, reef-safe formula and reapply after swimming.
Wear water shoes
Rocky shore entries and mangrove flats can be sharp and slippery—lightwater shoes improve footing for swims and shoreline walks.
Practice basic snorkeling before arrival
If you’re new to snorkeling, a quick practice in shallow water will make the reef visit more enjoyable and safer.
Time your visit early or late
Morning and late afternoon trips have calmer seas and cooler temperatures, improving visibility and comfort.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and coral reefs during prolonged sun exposure on deck and at shore.
