From Sharm El-Sheikh: Ras Mohamed Park, Allah's Gate and Magic Lake Half Day Tour By Road

About this experience

Ras Mohamed National Park half-day tour from Sharm El-Sheikh Book this half-day tour to see the best of Ras Mohamed National Park by road, with hotel pickup in Sharm El-Sheikh, park entry and a live guide included. In about 5 hours you visit Allah's Gate, the Earthquake Crack, the mangrove forest and Magic Lake, then stop for a swim and snorkel in the clear water of the Red Sea. It is an easy way to see the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula without planning transport or buying park tickets yourself. Ras Mohamed is a protected national park at the southern tip of the Sinai, where the desert meets coral reefs. The road tour suits travellers who want the landscapes and a relaxed swim stop rather than a full day at sea. What you see on the tour Allah's Gate: the large stone monument at the park entrance and the classic photo stop of the day. Earthquake Crack: a long, narrow fissure in the rock left by seismic activity, which shows the forces that shaped the Sinai. Mangrove forest: a short walk along the shore to see the rare mangrove trees that protect this coastline and its wildlife. Magic Lake: a shallow lagoon whose water changes colour with the sunlight, a good place for photos and a dip. Swim and snorkel stop: time in the water at the Coral Gardens shoreline to see reef fish close to the beach. How the day works Your driver collects you from your hotel in an air-conditioned minibus. The exact pickup time depends on where you stay and is confirmed one day before the tour by WhatsApp or email, so keep your phone to hand. Please wait in the hotel lobby 15 minutes before pickup (or at the hotel entrance if there is no lobby); pickups can run up to 10 minutes late. The drive from Sharm El-Sheikh to the park entrance takes about 20 minutes. There you meet your guide, who leads the tour in English, Italian, Russian or Arabic. Choose the shared tour in a small group, or the private tour with your own vehicle and flexible pacing for up to 10 guests. Both options last about 5 hours and include drop-off back at your hotel. Visa rules: check before you book This tour enters Ras Mohamed by land, so you need a full Egyptian tourist visa. Travellers with a Sinai-only entry stamp can visit Ras Mohamed by boat only, so book a boat trip such as the Ras Mohamed and White Island snorkelling cruise instead. Bring a copy of your passport on the day. Tickets, what to bring and cancellation Your voucher is emailed to you right after booking. Show it on your phone with a valid photo ID.
