About this experience

See one of Egypt's most famous nature reserves — without the cost of a boat trip. This land tour from Sharm El Sheikh explores Ras Mohammed National Park, where desert mountains meet the Red Sea. Your day starts with free hotel pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle, plus a quick stop to rent snorkeling gear (or bring your own). Enjoy a panoramic photo stop over the Gulf of Aqaba, then visit the iconic Allah Gate, the park's official entrance. Inside the reserve, explore the mangrove forest, where trees grow from the salty Red Sea water, and see the ancient Earthquake Crack. Then swim in the famous Magic Lake, known for its high salinity and local legends, before snorkeling from the shore over coral gardens full of colorful fish. You'll be back at your hotel by early afternoon. Iconic viewpoints, Magic Lake, mangroves, and reef snorkeling — the easiest way to see Ras Mohammed National Park in one half-day tour.

What you'll see and do

  1. Ras Mohammed Nature Reserve

    This was the first national park in Egypt. On land, the park protects a small mangrove forest at the end of the peninsula. Further inland, the landscapes include mountains, sand dunes, wadis, and coastal mud plains. The Red Sea Reef and surrounding reef areas include both fringing and hermatypic type reefs. There are over 220 species of corals accompanied by over 1,000 species of fish, 40 species of starfish, 150 species of crustaceans, and 25 species of sea urchins. The green turtle and the hawksbill turtle are two of the sea turtles which can be found swimming amongst the reefs fairly regularly.

From Sharm: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling Trip, Magic Lake & Allah Gate: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.

How much does From Sharm: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling Trip, Magic Lake & Allah Gate cost?

+

Prices start at $12 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 From Sharm: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling Trip, Magic Lake & Allah Gate take?

+

Plan for about 5 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 From Sharm: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling Trip, Magic Lake & Allah Gate worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 424 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 From Sharm: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling Trip, Magic Lake & Allah Gate?

+

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 From Sharm: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling Trip, Magic Lake & Allah Gate suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book From Sharm: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling Trip, Magic Lake & Allah Gate?

+

Around 148 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does From Sharm: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling Trip, Magic Lake & Allah Gate 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: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Top Sights, ATV Quad Bike & Camel Ride, Echo Mountain – Sharm El Sheikh, Sharm : Cairo Excursion by Flight, Pyramid GEM or Ancient Museum. 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.
