The boat slips from Sharm El-Sheikh under a bright Sinai sky and the sea quickly narrows into the coral rooms of Ras Mohammed National Park. Salt air presses against the deck, the captain calls out shallow reefs, and bright fins and masks dot the water like mobile confetti. At anchor, the reef dares you: enter and the current will set the rhythm.

History

Ras Mohammed was designated Egypt’s first marine national park in 1983 to protect its unique coral reefs and coastal ecosystems.

Conservation

The park faces pressures from tourism and warming seas; follow park rules, avoid touching coral, and use reef-safe products to minimize impact.

Adventure tips

Bring reef-safe sunscreenThe park's corals are sensitive—use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply before entering the water.

Pack a quick-dry towel and cover-upMornings and evenings can be breezy on the deck; a light layer keeps you comfortable.

Know your swimming comfortTrips are suitable for all fitness levels, but basic swimming ability is required for snorkeling stops.

Secure small valuablesPhone and cash should be stored in waterproof bags or left at the hotel during the trip.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin and the reef during long sun exposure on deck and in shallow water.
Snorkel mask (well-fitted): A tight-fitting mask prevents leaks and increases time spent enjoying the reef.
Light windbreaker or hoodie: Keeps you warm on the return trip when sea breeze picks up.
Waterproof dry bag: Keeps phone, wallet, and spare clothes dry on a boat trip with multiple swims.
