More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low-slung boat slips away from Sharm El Sheikh’s harbor and the Sinai coastline slides open: turquoise that deepens to cobalt, coral heads spreading like sculpted gardens beneath the surface. Participants disembark for two guided snorkeling stops in Ras Mohamed National Park, where the sea pushes a steady current and colorful reef fish thread through staghorn and brain corals. Later, the boat rounds a sandy spit to White Island — a small crescent of powder sand and shallow water ideal for wading and quick explorations.
