More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The bus pulls out of Sharm El Sheikh before sunrise, dust and salt on the windows, and the Red Sea ahead already brightening. Within an hour the shoreline thins into low scrub and limestone cliffs; by the time you step onto White Island the water is a sheet of turquoise daring you to drop in. Snorkelers spread out over shallow gardens of staghorn and brain coral; colorful parrotfish and bannerfish patrol the edges like neighborhood watch.
