The boat slips away from Sharm El Sheikh's harbor and the shoreline blurs into a band of sunlit limestone cliffs and bright sea. Salt wind pushes the deck forward; gulls wheel and the water shifts from deep cobalt to electric turquoise as you head for Ras Mohammed and the small outcrops known locally as White Island.

The boat slips away from Sharm El Sheikh's harbor and the shoreline blurs into a band of sunlit limestone cliffs and bright sea. Salt wind pushes the deck forward; gulls wheel and the water shifts from deep cobalt to electric turquoise as you head for Ras Mohammed and the small outcrops known locally as White Island.
Ras Mohammed National Park sits at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula where the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba meet. Geological uplift and coral growth have carved dramatic headlands and submerged reefs; the park’s mix of mangroves, salt flats and coral gardens has long drawn migrating birds and seafaring communities. On board you’ll hear a little of local fishing culture and sample an Egyptian kofta lunch between snorkeling stops.
Expect clear-water snorkeling over coral bommies and reef slopes teeming with parrotfish, angelfish and soft corals. The reefs here are exposed to currents that flush nutrients and improve visibility—conditions that make this part of the Red Sea world-famous for underwater life.
Practical guidance: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a snug mask and a snorkel you trust; guides provide flotation and a briefing before each swim. Plan for an 8-hour day including hotel pickup and drop-off; the boat anchors at several shallow reef sites, so even confident beginners can enjoy the water with instructor support. Stay hydrated, protect against the midday sun, and keep a respectful distance from coral—these reefs are fragile and slow-growing. With basic swim skills and a sense of adventure you’ll come away with vivid underwater memories and a clearer sense of Sinai’s coastal ecology.
