About This Activity

The half-day tour of Ras Mohammed National Park begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Sharm El-Sheikh. As you journey to the park in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle, you’ll enjoy scenic views of the Red Sea coastline and learn a bit about the region from your guide. Ras Mohammed, Egypt's first national park, is renowned for its stunning landscapes, marine life, and ecological significance.

Your first stop is the Magic Lake, an enchanting body of water that shifts colors with the sunlight, creating an ethereal sight. This natural wonder is surrounded by untouched beauty, offering both serenity and prime opportunities for photography. Whether you’re capturing the lake’s reflection or taking in its tranquil ambiance, the Magic Lake is an unforgettable highlight of the tour.

Nearby, Allah’s Gate rises as a spectacular natural rock formation that seems to frame the landscape like a piece of art. It’s a must-see landmark, often referred to as the gateway to Ras Mohammed. Your guide will share the cultural and geological significance of this site, making it not only a visually striking stop but also a meaningful one.

The adventure continues at the Mangrove Channel, a rare ecological treasure. Here, mangrove trees grow in saltwater, defying the odds and creating a unique habitat for various species. Your guide will explain the importance of mangroves in maintaining ecological balance, offering an educational layer to this beautiful experience. This rare sight is a testament to the region’s environmental diversity.

Finally, you’ll visit the Earthquake Crack, a dramatic split in the earth caused by ancient seismic activity. This geological marvel provides a glimpse into the powerful natural forces that have shaped this area over millennia. As you walk alongside the crack, your guide will discuss the history of the region’s tectonic activity, adding context to this fascinating feature.

Throughout the tour, your knowledgeable guide will enhance your experience with engaging stories and information about the park’s flora, fauna, and geological history. After exploring Ras Mohammed’s key landmarks, you’ll return to your hotel with vivid memories of a morning well spent in one of Egypt’s most iconic natural reserves.

We spent a beautiful day with well-organized activities and excellent transportation. The highlight was the snorkeling; we had ample time for a good swim and to properly admire the coral reef without the large crowds we experienced on previous excursions. The guides were good, spoke understandable Italian, and did not pressure us excessively for tips. The only drawback was the total cost of the day. Beyond the tour price, you must add 8 euros for the Ras Mohammed entry fee, which was paid at a shop where snorkeling masks are rented, so I'm unsure how much actually goes to the Park versus them. Additionally, there is the 5 euros for the mask rental and finally the 15 euros for the photographer, which is optional.

I felt I had to share my thoughts after our wonderful experience. A huge thank you to the fantastic Jamal and Mohammed. The level of service was outstanding from beginning to end. All communication was polite, welcoming, and completely professional. They were incredibly hospitable. I hadn't originally planned to go snorkeling, but the wonderful Jamal gave me a personal, one-on-one lesson. Thanks to him, I've now become an enthusiastic snorkeler! This is undoubtedly one of the best excursions available in Sharm. Do not hesitate to book it; you will not be disappointed.
