Tour Overview:
Pick-Up Time
Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel in an air-conditioned bus at 8:00 AM, followed by a drive to the diving center at the Old Market. Our guide will show you a map of the locations we will visit, and equipment for snorkeling is available for rent.
Panorama Ras Mohamed and Gate of Allah
After a short 20-minute ride, we arrive at Panorama Ras Mohamed and the Gate of Allah. Capture stunning photos of these natural wonders and enjoy the serene atmosphere of the area.
Gate of Allah
The Gate of Allah is a beautiful structure designed by an Egyptian engineer after the October War. Made from giant concrete stones resembling granite, it appears to form the name “Allah.” It’s a popular spot for visitors to snap photographs.
Mangrove Canal
Explore the Mangrove Canal, a 250-meter stretch that separates the Ras Mohammed peninsula from the Al-Beira Island. It’s surrounded by rare mangrove trees that absorb salt from the water, and you can see the salt on the trees’ green leaves. Swimming is prohibited here to protect the area, but you are welcome to take pictures.
Magic Lake
The Magic Lake is known for its ever-changing colors. The water shifts hues about seven times a day. Historically, Bedouins believed swimming here while making a wish would bring good fortune. You can enjoy swimming in the lake, surrounded by colorful sands, and perhaps make a wish of your own!
Snorkeling for One Hour
After visiting the magical sites, enjoy one hour of snorkeling at El Suezy Beach. This spot is home to many marine creatures, including sea turtles, crabs, mollusks, and over 200 species of coral reefs. It’s a perfect place to explore the rich underwater life of Ras Mohammed National Park.
Return to Hotel
At around 1:30 PM, you will be driven back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, completing your exciting half-day trip.
