More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Sharm’s port under a hard desert sun, the Red Sea opening into a blue that dares you to jump in. Within an hour the shoreline drops away and the captain eases toward the reef labyrinth of Ras Mohamed National Park and the flats around White Island. Coral outcrops appear like underwater ridgelines; surface patches of foam mark where waves push against shallow bommies.

History
Ras Mohamed was declared Egypt’s first marine protected area in the early 1980s to safeguard exceptional reef systems forming at the Sinai peninsula’s southern tip.
Conservation
The park enforces no-anchoring zones and limits visitor impact; use reef-safe products and avoid touching coral to help slow local degradation and bleaching.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Bring a well-fitted mask
A snug snorkel mask prevents leaks and lets you focus on marine life rather than clearing water.

If you get seasick, take medication before boarding and sit mid-boat where motion is reduced.
