Ras Mohammed National Park

Ras Mohammed National Park: An Underwater Paradise in Sharm El Sheikh Located at the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Ras Mohammed was Egypt’s first national park and remains one of the most famous marine protected areas in the world. Known for its breathtaking coral reefs and diverse marine life, it is a "must-visit" destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers traveling with Etro Tours. The Natural Wonder: The park is unique because of its location at the meeting point of the two gulfs, resulting in strong currents that bring an abundance of nutrients. This supports over 1,000 species of fish and 220 species of coral, making every dive or snorkel session a cinematic experience. Key Highlights of Ras Mohammed: Shark & Yolanda Reefs: Rated among the top 10 dive sites globally, where you can see vibrant corals and the remains of the Yolanda shipwreck. The Magic Lake: A stunning salt-water lake known for its shifting colors. Bedouins believe it grants wishes to those who swim in its healing waters. Mangrove Forests: Discover the unique trees that grow in saltwater and act as a vital nursery for young fish and birds. The Earthquake Crack: A natural fissure in the earth caused by ancient tectonic movements, filled with water and hidden among the rocks. Allah’s Gate: The iconic stone entrance to the park, perfect for a memorable photo before starting your adventure. Traveler Tips for Etro Tours Guests: Eco-Friendly Visit: As a protected area, please remember not to touch the corals or feed the fish. We help you enjoy nature while preserving it. Best Time for Snorkeling: Morning trips offer the best light for underwater photography. Don't forget your waterproof camera! Sun Protection: The Sinai sun is strong. Bring high-SPF sunscreen, but ensure it is "reef-safe" to protect the marine environment.
