Board an air-conditioned minibus in Sharm El-Sheikh and feel the Sinai wind as the coastline drops away toward the southern tip of the peninsula. At Ras Mohammed National Park the sea takes center stage: a cliff-top viewpoint frames a fractured coastline, while the shallow Coral Gardens shimmer in turquoise below and the small, clear Magic Lake (Enchanted Lake) invites a cool dip.

Board an air-conditioned minibus in Sharm El-Sheikh and feel the Sinai wind as the coastline drops away toward the southern tip of the peninsula. At Ras Mohammed National Park the sea takes center stage: a cliff-top viewpoint frames a fractured coastline, while the shallow Coral Gardens shimmer in turquoise below and the small, clear Magic Lake (Enchanted Lake) invites a cool dip.
Ras Mohammed was declared Egypt's first national park in 1983 to protect its coral reefs, mangroves and dramatic earthquake fissures—geology written in limestone and rift lines where the land has simply split. Culture here is coastal Bedouin and maritime: the area’s features—Allah Gate, Earthquake Crack, and the Mangrove Channel—are local waypoints for fishermen and guides who know the currents and hidden coves.
Expect easy walking between viewpoints, short swims and guided shore snorkeling at Coral Gardens. Visibility often exceeds 15–20 meters; common sights include dense staghorn coral plates, parrotfish and the occasional green sea turtle. The Magic Lake is a sheltered saltwater pool best for a quiet swim and photos.
Practical notes: tours run about 5 hours with hotel pickup, snorkeling gear provided but bring a mask if you prefer your own. Wear reef-safe sunscreen, swimbiz and water shoes; timing matters—mornings tend to be calmer and brighter for visibility. Keep a respectful distance from corals and nesting birds; the park is protected and best enjoyed with minimal impact.
The full excursion is about 5 hours from hotel pickup to drop-off, including stops for snorkeling and viewpoints.
Most operators supply basic snorkeling equipment but you may bring your own mask for a better fit.
Yes—shore snorkeling at Coral Gardens is suitable for beginners, but you should be comfortable with basic breathing through a snorkel and follow the guide.
Yes; the Magic (Enchanted) Lake is a sheltered saltwater pool ideal for a calm swim, though always heed guide instructions and water depth.
