About this tour
Discover Egypt's crown jewel of marine conservation on this spectacular Ras Mohamed snorkeling tour from Sharm el Sheikh, where the legendary Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef offer some of the world's most breathtaking underwater experiences. Located at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula where the Gulf of Aqaba meets the Gulf of Suez, Ras Mohamed National Park was established in 1983 as Egypt's first national park, protecting over 1,000 fish species and 200 coral species in pristine Red Sea waters. Feel your heart race as you float above the famous vertical coral wall at Shark Reef, where the seabed plunges dramatically from shallow lagoons to depths exceeding 800 meters, creating an underwater cliff face adorned with massive table corals and soft coral gardens in electric purples, oranges, and reds. This Sharm el Sheikh excursion takes you to Yolanda Reef, where the scattered cargo of a 1980 shipwreck now serves as artificial reef habitat, attracting schools of barracuda, batfish, and the occasional reef shark. Your expert guide reveals the park's incredible biodiversity, from tiny cleaner shrimp to massive Napoleon wrasse, while you snorkel in visibility often exceeding 40 meters. The sheltered waters of Mangrove Bay provide a perfect finale, where ancient mangrove trees create a unique ecosystem and offer respite from Red Sea currents.
