The yacht slips away from Sharm’s marina and the city’s heat falls behind you, replaced by the hard blue of the Gulf of Aqaba. Sea spray punctures the air; gulls wheel and the boat’s sun deck bakes under a sharp sky. In a short cruise you arrive at White Island — a low, sand-and-reef crescent where shallow water shimmers, begging you to paddle out and meet the coral gardens.
