You step onto the swell as the boat peels away from the jetty, the Red Sea opening like a bright, movable horizon. Salt spray lifts off the water and the deck hums with the low conversation of divers and sun seekers; the captain eases toward White Island where sand is so pale it almost pushes back the sea’s blue.

Ras Mohammed has been a maritime waypoint for centuries; its reefs and channels shaped local fishing routes and later became a protected national park in 1983.
Conservation
The park limits anchoring and enforces no-fishing zones to protect coral; visitors should use reef-safe products and avoid touching coral to reduce impact.
