Ras Mohammed National Park

The Ras Mohammed National Park is Egypt's first national park and marine reserve. It is located on the Sinai Peninsula, 12 kilometres from Sharm El Sheikh city. The National park is spread over a vast desert with sand dunes, mountains, and valleys overlooking the exquisite red sea reef. Visitors can enjoy snorkelling and scuba diving amongst the red sea's natural reefs and aquatic animals.

Swim amongst starfishes, sea urchins, squids, crustaceans, sharks and beautiful coral reefs. The Stonehenge-like entry gate called the “gate of Allah” is an architectural wonder. The national park comprises two beautiful lakes. The magic lake is marked by its crystal clear waters, and the shallow salt lake, as the name suggests is filled with naturally crystalized salt. Earthquake cracks which have turned into underwater caves are throughout the park. Overnight camping is also popular near the small mangrove forest. The park was created to preserve coral reefs and marine life, and it also has a shark observatory and Eel garden.
