Overview
half day exploring Ras Mohamed National Park, one of the most important protected areas around Sharm El Sheikh.
Travel by air-conditioned bus from your hotel to the national park, then explore its coastline and natural landmarks with your guide.
The main water activity is shore snorkeling, giving you the opportunity to see coral reefs and Red Sea marine life without taking a boat. The tour also includes stops at the mangrove area, Magic Lake and Earthquake Crack, followed by a photo stop at the famous Allah’s Gate.
The bus tour is a good choice if you want to combine snorkeling with the landscapes and landmarks inside Ras Mohamed rather than spending the whole excursion on a boat.
