You step off the quayside at Sharm el Sheikh Marina and the Red Sea opens like a bright sheet of blue, the boat’s diesel chatter joining the cry of gulls. Within an hour the shoreline thins and the water deepens to the clear turquoise of Ras Mohammed National Park, where coral gardens rise from shelves and the current seems to nudge you toward shoals of parrotfish.

You step off the quayside at Sharm el Sheikh Marina and the Red Sea opens like a bright sheet of blue, the boat’s diesel chatter joining the cry of gulls. Within an hour the shoreline thins and the water deepens to the clear turquoise of Ras Mohammed National Park, where coral gardens rise from shelves and the current seems to nudge you toward shoals of parrotfish.
Ras Mohammed, declared Egypt’s first national park in 1983, sits at the southern tip of the Sinai; its geology is a collision of limestone cliffs and submerged plateaus that create dramatic drop-offs and sheltered lagoons. Local Bedouin fishing traditions and modern conservation efforts meet here—park rangers regulate anchors and access to protect living reefs that took millennia to form.
Expect a full-day outing (about eight hours): an air-conditioned pick-up, a short transfer to the marina, then a shared boat that visits several snorkel sites. Snorkeling typically includes two to three 30–45 minute swims over shallow reefs and, when conditions allow, a drift along gentler currents. Visibility is often 15–30 meters; water temps vary by season.
Practical: bring a fitted mask and reef-safe sunscreen, drink water between swims, and listen to the crew for entry and exit points—those guide briefings keep you away from fragile coral and boat traffic. The tour includes an open buffet lunch onboard and basic meet-and-greet assistance at the marina, making it well suited to first-time snorkelers and experienced reef lovers alike.

The park enforces no-anchoring zones and limits on visitors; use reef-safe products and avoid touching coral to reduce impact.
