Operated by Balloons first trip · Sharm el Sheikh, South Sinai
A morning bus pulls out of Sharm el-Sheikh with the Red Sea already claiming the horizon; by the time you reach the park gate the air tastes of salt and sun-warmed stone. The first stop is a salt-tolerant fringe of mangroves and the so-called Magic Lake — a surprising deep lagoon whose calm surface contrasts with the reef-dotted channels nearby. From the boat or shore you slip into warm, clear water and the reef suddenly rearranges your expectations: fingers of coral, darting reef fish, and the slow-turning shadow of larger animals.

Designated as Egypt’s first marine park in the 1980s, Ras Mohamed preserves reefs formed by seismic uplift and centuries of coral growth; many place names reflect Bedouin stories associated with the coastline.
The park enforces rules to limit reef damage and regulate anchoring; visitors are asked to use reef-safe products and avoid disturbing wildlife to protect fragile coral habitats.
