You step off the air‑conditioned minibus and the smell of salt and sun hits first — the wind from the Red Sea pushing through low scrub and the distant call of seabirds. The Gate of Allah marks the threshold: a raw limestone coastline giving way to reefs that fall away into cobalt depths.

Ras Mohammed has been a navigational landmark for centuries and became Egypt’s first national park in 1983 to protect its unique marine and coastal habitats.

The park enforces no‑take zones and limits on boat access; visitors are asked to use reef‑safe products and avoid anchoring on corals to reduce impact.

Book morning pickup
Pickup is typically around 8:30; earlier starts give calmer seas and better visibility for snorkeling.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect yourself and the reef — choose mineral sunscreen and reapply after swimming.
Bring a snug mask
A well‑fitting mask makes snorkeling far more enjoyable and reduces fogging in rougher seas.
Avoid touching coral
Coral is fragile and can be damaged by hands or fins; look, photograph, but don’t make contact.
