Overview
Ras Mohammed National Park, at the southern tip of the Sinai where the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba meet, protects some of the clearest water and richest coral in the Red Sea. This full-day cruise sails there aboard a comfortable yacht, mooring at the park's celebrated reefs for snorkelling over vertical coral walls that drop into deep blue, alive with anthias, angelfish, snapper and the occasional turtle or reef shark. Between reef stops the yacht anchors off White Island, a pure sandbar that rises from the shallows at low water — a place to wade, swim and photograph in water the colour of glass. Snorkelling gear is provided and crew stay close for swimmers of all abilities, while a lunch is served on board and the sun deck offers space to relax between dips. Because Ras Mohammed is a protected reserve, the corals here are exceptionally healthy and the visibility often exceptional. With hotel transfers, lunch and equipment included, it is one of Sharm's signature days on the water — the best of the peninsula's marine life and its most photogenic sandbar in a single, easy-paced cruise.
