Ras Mohamed and White Island Snorkeling Trip from Sharm El-Sheikh
Discover the breathtaking underwater world of Egypt's most celebrated marine national park in a single unforgettable day.
This full-day excursion takes you from Sharm El-Sheikh directly to Ras Mohamed National Park, one of the most ecologically significant marine reserves in the Red Sea, where pristine coral gardens and abundant sea life await beneath the surface.
The journey begins with a comfortable air-conditioned minibus transfer lasting approximately 20 minutes, delivering you to the park entrance without hassle. From there, you will explore two exceptional snorkeling sites, each offering a distinctly different underwater landscape shaped by warm currents and rich biodiversity.
White Island, a shallow sandbar surrounded by crystal-clear waters, provides an ideal environment for snorkelers of all experience levels. The contrast between the stark white sand and the vivid coral life just beneath the waterline makes it one of the most photogenic natural settings in the region.
Ras Mohamed itself stands at the confluence of the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba, creating a dramatic drop-off where reef walls descend into deep blue water. Sharks Reef and Jolanda Reef, two of the park's signature dive and snorkel sites, are known for their extraordinary fish density and coral formations.

Itinerary
An air-conditioned minibus collects you from your Sharm El-Sheikh accommodation. The drive to Ras Mohamed National Park takes approximately 20 minutes along the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula.
Upon arrival, your guide will brief you on the park's regulations and snorkeling safety procedures. Snorkeling equipment is distributed and fitted before you enter the water.
You descend into the water at one of the park's signature reef sites, where coral walls and reef flats host an extraordinary variety of marine life. Sharks Reef and Jolanda Reef are among the most frequently visited locations within the park.
The group moves to White Island, a shallow sandbar set in calm, clear water ideal for relaxed snorkeling. The site offers a different character from the deeper reef walls and is suitable for beginners and experienced snorkelers alike.
After your time in the water, the group boards the minibus for the return journey. You arrive back in Sharm El-Sheikh approximately seven hours after departure.
