A low, glassy sea stretches from Sharm’s harbor as the boat slips past painted buoys and low cliffs; the sun presses warm on the deck while guides ready masks and fins. Within an hour the shoreline peels away and White Island appears—a pale crescent of sand and coral—then the boat eases into the clearer, reef-studded water of Ras Mohamed National Park.

A low, glassy sea stretches from Sharm’s harbor as the boat slips past painted buoys and low cliffs; the sun presses warm on the deck while guides ready masks and fins. Within an hour the shoreline peels away and White Island appears—a pale crescent of sand and coral—then the boat eases into the clearer, reef-studded water of Ras Mohamed National Park.
Ras Mohamed sits at Egypt’s Sinai tip where the Gulf of Suez meets the Gulf of Aqaba. Formed by tectonic uplift and coral accretion, the park preserves exposed reef edges, drop-offs and small sandy isles that attract both migratory birds and reef fish. The area’s modern tourism sits above a long history of coastal trade and Bedouin maritime knowledge; dive sites here are named for shipwrecks, reefs and local landmarks.
Expect three snorkel stops on a layered dayboat with shaded saloon, BBQ lunch and guide support. The water ranges from calm lagoons ideal for novices to current-ruffled channels that test your navigation. Reefs here are alive with parrotfish, angelfish and the occasional hawksbill turtle; photographers and videographers are often available for an extra charge.
Practical notes: arrive early for hotel pickup, bring reef-safe sunscreen and a light rashguard, and plan for 6–10 hours on the water including transfers. The park requires a national-park ticket and enforces no-touch rules for coral. For first-time snorkelers, practice breathing and clearing a mask before the first drop; for experienced swimmers, plan short surface swims to drift lines and deeper pinnacles.
easy.
8–10 hours.
Light fitness required—able to board a boat, swim short distances and snorkel at the surface for 20–40 minute sessions.
This is a full-day excursion; pickups from Sharm el Sheikh hotels typically start around 08:00–08:30 and return in the afternoon or early evening depending on conditions.
Snorkeling equipment is included, but many visitors prefer their own mask for fit and anti-fog performance.
The trip is suitable for most ages but children must be accompanied by an adult; non-swimmers should wear life vests and remain in shallow, guided areas.
Bring a valid passport (required on the day), sun protection, drinking water, and any personal medications; the park fee is included with the tour.
Ras Mohamed was designated Egypt’s first national park in the 1980s to protect unique reef and desert junctions; the area has long been a waypoint for Red Sea maritime routes.
The park enforces no-touch policies and entrance fees support reef protection—use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid anchoring on coral to reduce impact.
