Nice snorkeling
Everything was good organized, the Alibaba supervisor contacted in time and was always online till the minibus picked me up . Before the national park we visited a renting where it was possible to rent flippers for 4 usd. The route to the park was quick . The snorkeling was awesome and the divers were always nearby , the amount of different fish was extraordinary. The only minus is the amount of trash on the ground of the national park - you can see a lot of plastic and cans!

Un experiencia incómoda y poco grata
The guide was so kind to us kinbut but the driver at the beginning had the music so loud and was a bit rude to the group. Furthermore, as a nature lover and diver I was so disgusted with one of the photogrsphers that on the way back showed us lots of videos from other days and i every single video was touching, catching the fish and even taking a turtle with two hands. As a diver, respect to the animals is what is most important for me. I didnt like what i saw sorry. Disgusting.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the guide kind and helpful, as this is something we always strive for. However, we sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience at the beginning of the trip with the driver. Your comments have been noted, and we will address this internally to ensure a more professional and comfortable experience for all our guests. Regarding your very important concern about the photographer’s behavior with marine life, we completely understand your frustration—especially as a diver and nature lover. We strongly value environmental responsibility and respect for wildlife, and what you described does not reflect our standards. Please rest assured that this issue will be taken seriously and addressed to prevent any recurrence. We truly appreciate your honesty and your concern for protecting marine life, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed Half-Day Tour and Allah's Gate: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed Half-Day Tour and Allah's Gate cost?
+
Prices start at $18 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed Half-Day Tour and Allah's 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed Half-Day Tour and Allah's Gate worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 56 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed Half-Day Tour and Allah's 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed Half-Day Tour and Allah's 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed Half-Day Tour and Allah's Gate?
+
Around 20 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 Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed Half-Day Tour and Allah's 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 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.
