Sunlight thins through a sky of pale heat as the boat slips away from Sharm El Sheikh’s harbor, engines ticking and the Red Sea opening like a promise. Salted wind pushes you toward Ras Mohammed National Park, where desert cliffs fall into turquoise bowls and coral gardens fan away into blue. At the surface, the White Island’s white sandbed gleams—a natural pause between two seas.
