Egypt’s premier marine reserve, famous for crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and some of the world’s best snorkelling and diving.
Located at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Ras Mohammed National Park is Egypt's premier marine reserve and a must-visit on any Red Sea beach holiday or Sharm el Sheikh excursion. Established in 1983, it protects vibrant coral reefs, mangroves, dramatic desert landscapes and diverse marine ecosystems within the Red Sea, making it one of Egypt's most rewarding natural attractions.
The park is internationally renowned for snorkelling and diving, with sites such as Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef offering exceptional underwater visibility and rich biodiversity — over 1,000 species of fish and hundreds of coral varieties inhabit these waters. It's a brilliant day out for couples, families, groups and solo travellers alike, and slots perfectly into an all-inclusive Red Sea package, a relaxing winter sun escape or an Easter holiday in the sun.
Ras Mohammed offers a different side of Egypt — not ancient monuments, but natural beauty and adventure — making it especially popular with UK visitors seeking sun, sea and world-class diving. Whether you choose a cheap beach getaway or a luxury Red Sea resort stay in nearby Sharm el Sheikh, the park pairs beautifully with a Nile cruise for the ultimate twin-centre Egypt holiday combining ancient wonders with underwater adventure.
