Exceptional experience
We had very good time and really enjoyed. It's expensive compared to others especially that we paid tourists price & in $ while we are Egyptian Tour guide Ahmed El Nady was very professional, active & knowledge. They accommodated very well the presence of my 85 years old mother. Mahmoud the photographer made good shots at reasonable price Aside of the price I highly recommend it

Mediocre Experience – Watch Out for Extra Charges
Unfortunately, our overall experience was rather mediocre, even though some parts of the tour were enjoyable. The snorkeling section was the most disappointing. The guide basically forced us to rent life jackets and snorkeling equipment (two life jackets and two pairs of fins for a total of €18), even though we can swim and didn’t really need them. In the end, we only did about 20 minutes of snorkeling, so the cost felt quite excessive compared to the actual time spent. The photo service was also a letdown. At the beginning, we were told that the photographer was a professional and that we would decide ourselves how much to pay based on the photos and videos. Instead, at the end we were asked for €20 per couple for a small number of pictures, many of them crooked or blurry, and for very poor underwater videos, mostly showing people swimming with their life jackets. The coral reef was barely filmed, except for a couple of extremely short clips. I’m not saying the excursion should be completely avoided, because there were some nice moments. But I will give one piece of advice: don’t let yourselves be pressured. If you can swim, life jackets, fins, and wetsuits are not really necessary (the water was pleasant, despite being told otherwise at the rental point). And if you have your own camera or underwater action cam, that’s definitely better than relying on the photographer. I hope this review helps others enjoy the experience in a more transparent and informed way.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry the snorkelling part was disappointing. The photo service is optional, and guests are free to buy the photos or not. We are sorry the price was not explained clearly from the start, and we have shared this with the team. If you were asked to pay for equipment that was included in your booking, please contact us with your booking details so we can check it. Kind regards, Egypt Gate Team

Fantastic
We had such a great time, even with our two little ones (3 and 6 years old). Snorkeling together was amazing, and the dive was just perfect thanks to our instructors who were super helpful and patient. The whole team was wonderful—always smiling and ready to help. The trip was good value for money. It wasn’t crowded at all (despite what some people say), and the food was fine. Honestly, it was a fantastic experience! Definitely a must-do with Sharm Gate. Some people might try to sell you a higher price elsewhere for “better quality,” but I really think we got the best quality for the best price.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Many thanks for choosing Egypt Gate and for your great review. We are delighted that the trip met your expectations and that you enjoyed the Red Sea with us. We will share your kind words with the team. We would be happy to welcome you back anytime! Kind regards, Egypt Gate Team

Excursion to Ras Mohammed Sharm El Sheikh by bus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Excursion to Ras Mohammed Sharm El Sheikh by bus cost?
+
Prices start at $17 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Excursion to Ras Mohammed Sharm El Sheikh by bus take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Excursion to Ras Mohammed Sharm El Sheikh by bus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 76 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Excursion to Ras Mohammed Sharm El Sheikh by bus?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Excursion to Ras Mohammed Sharm El Sheikh by bus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Excursion to Ras Mohammed Sharm El Sheikh by bus?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Excursion to Ras Mohammed Sharm El Sheikh by bus start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
