More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Salt air thickens as the boat slips off Sharm El Sheikh’s jetty and the shoreline shrinks into a band of hotels and palms. Within an hour the sea opens and Ras Mohammed’s reef crest appears—rock and coral rising like an underwater ridge that dares you to descend. Divers kit up on deck while the captain angles the bow toward the park’s best walls; above water you can see the outline of Sinai and, on a clear day, Saudi Arabia across the Straits.
