Hotels near Ras Mohammed National Park
Sharm El Sheikh 2, Egypt
Established in 1983 as Egypt's first national park, Ras Mohammed National Park sits at the very tip of the Sinai Peninsula where the Gulf of Suez meets the Gulf of Aqaba. The park covers 480 sq km of land and reef, and it is home to roughly 1,000 species of fish and 220 hard and soft corals. The Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef walls plunge from 5 m to over 750 m, making this one of the world's top 10 dive sites.
Boats depart from Sharm Travco port and Naama Bay marina between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, returning around 4:00 PM. Snorkellers visit Shark Observatory, Yolanda Reef, and the wreck of the Yolanda freighter (cargo of toilets and a BMW still on the seabed). The land entrance fee is USD 5, plus USD 5 per boat - typically included in tour prices of USD 50-80.
Pro Tip: Book the smaller speedboat trips (8-12 passengers) rather than the large day boats. They reach the best mooring spots first and you avoid the 100+ snorkellers crowding the same reef section by 11:00 AM.
