More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A three-quarter-day sunlit sweep across the Red Sea drops you into a clear, shivery blue where coral gardens rise like submerged cliffs. The boat slips from Sharm El Sheikh Marina and the shoreline loosens—rocky headlands fall away, gulls quarter the wake, and the sea opens to Ras Mohammed’s protected channels.
