Sharm el-Sheikh and Ras Mohamed National Park

What this is

Ras Mohamed sits at the southern tip of Sinai where the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba converge, and the current that brings makes the wall dives what they are. Shark and Yolanda Reef is the signature. Sharm itself is a purpose-built resort town with no old quarter to speak of, so come for the water.

Highlights

• Shark and Yolanda Reef, wall and drift
• The Yolanda wreck cargo, still scattered on the sand
• The mangrove channel and the salt lake in the park
• A boat day out to the Straits of Tiran Optional · extra charge
• An overnight at St Catherine's Monastery Optional · extra charge

Items marked optional are not in the price. Tell us which you want and we will quote them in writing before the trip.

What is included

Your itinerary

Good to know

• Wear closed-toe shoes; most sites are sand, gravel and uneven stone.
• Summer temperatures in Upper Egypt regularly exceed 40C. We start early for a reason.
• Bring your passport - several sites check ID at the gate.
• Photography is free at most sites; interior tomb photography sometimes carries a separate ticket.
• Ras Mohamed is a national park with a strict no-touch, no-glove policy. Take nothing out of the water.
• Currents on the wall can be strong. It is a drift snorkel, not a paddle.

Questions

How do I book?

Send us the dates and how many people are travelling, by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We reply with a written itinerary and a fixed price, usually within a few hours. Confirming is a message, not a payment.

Are the hotels and flights included?

Everything listed under what is included is booked and paid by us as part of the package. We hold the reservations; you owe nothing until you arrive in Egypt.

Do you take a deposit?

No. We ask for no deposit and take no payment to hold a date. Nothing is charged when you book and nothing is payable in advance - you settle with us in Egypt once the trip is running.

What if I need to change or cancel?

Tell us and we will change it, or cancel it, at no cost. There is no cancellation fee and no deadline to worry about, because nothing has been paid up front. If plans shift while you are already here, we will rearrange what we can on the day.

Do I need a diving certification?

For the guided dives, yes - bring your certification card and logbook. Snorkelling needs nothing at all, and an introductory dive with an instructor is open to complete beginners.

Is Egypt safe for solo and female travellers?

The tourist regions are heavily policed and we work in them daily. Your guide stays with you at every site. If you are travelling alone, tell us - we will match you with a guide accordingly.
