Private Day Tour of Ras Mohammed National Park with Snorkeling
Discover Egypt's first national park — wild coastlines, ancient mangroves, and world-class coral reefs await.
A private journey through Ras Mohammed National Park offers an unmatched combination of geological wonders, rare desert ecosystems, and some of the most biodiverse coral reefs on the planet. This five-hour tour is designed for travelers who want an intimate, guided experience at Egypt's most celebrated natural reserve.
Ras Mohammed sits at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where the Gulf of Suez meets the Gulf of Aqaba. The park was established as Egypt's first national park and protects an extraordinary range of habitats, from dramatic rock formations and desert plateaus to sheltered mangrove channels and vibrant underwater ecosystems.
With over 130 distinct coral reef formations and more than 1,000 recorded fish species, the underwater world here rivals the most famous dive destinations globally. The private format means you move at your own pace, with a dedicated guide focused entirely on your group.

Enjoy a fully private tour with hotel pickup and drop-off included, allowing a relaxed and personalized experience.
