Ras Muhammad National Park: Egypt's Gift
The park is one of the most beautiful sights in Egypt and is unique for those who enjoy nature and adventure, as well as the enthralling beauty of the oceans. The area is located at the southern end of the Sinai Peninsula, at the termination of the Gulf of Aqaba. The area where the Red Sea meets the gulf is an oasis for varied life on unspoiled beaches and mouth-opening coral reefs. The destination has everything that is included in vacations worldwide-going diving in the blue water, hiking through arid wildernesses, and taking in breathtaking views.
Sanctuary of Natural Beauty
Ras Muhammad National Park was declared the first national park of Egypt in 1983; it is about 480 square kilometers in area, with both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The park is called so because Muhammad's head means the head formed at the tip of the park, where the dramatic cliffs plunge into the blue waters of the Red Sea. Other topography in the park includes rugged mountains, sandy deserts, salt marshes, and prosperous coral reefs that all contribute to its recognition as one of the world's most incredible ecological landscapes.
Ras Muhammad National Park
The abundance of underwater life and the wide reefs covered with corals make Ras Mohamed Nature Reserve one of the best places in the world for snorkeling trips and swimming activities, and you can enjoy all of that on our Ras Mohammed Tour. On the mainland, the national park of Ras Mohammed is home to gazelles and rich birdlife. In a shallow channel, mangrove forests grow, creating an important settling area for birds.
In the clear waters, there are over a thousand species of colorful fish, including sharks and other unique species, which makes the exploration of this place an opportunity not to be missed.
You can dive into this beautiful park, but there is a limited number of boats. Given the increasing number of tourists who want to visit Ras Muhammad National Park, South Sinai, local authorities try to prevent the area from being damaged by limiting the possibilities of daily access, so no hotels are built, and the number of diving boats is limited. It is, therefore, appropriate to book your Ras Mohamed by boat from Sharm El Sheikh Tours in advance from our wide selection of Sharm el-Sheikh day tours. We also provide you with other snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh, even in Tiran Island, and desert safari trips in Sinai. The wonders of tourism in the Egyptian land are fruits that Cairo Top Tours brings to you through its agents in the field and/or online.
