Private Tour: Ras Mohammed

Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt

Declared the first Egyptian National Park in 1983, Ras Mohammed is located at the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula. It occupies an area that has grown to 480 square kilometers. The park is notable for its sharply defined raised fossil coral platforms which represent ancient shorelines.

You will have the whole morning exploring the contrasting areas of the park, including beaches, cliffs and desert.

Beware! We took this trip with great expectations, but were turned back at the entrance as we did not have visas! The site does not mention any need to have a visa, and the only place you can get one is at the airport. The tour guide asked us if we had our passports but did not ask if we had visas. Fortunately, the tour guide put himself out to get us transferred to the boat tour of Ras Mohammed, and this was brilliant. So do the boat trip, but beware as you may need a visa for this one as well.

Unfortunately, this was not as spectacular as we'd expected. We have more beauty in England at these sort of places.
