Ras Mohammed National Park Tip of Sinai Peninsula

Updated: Oct 3, 2023

Located at the southern most tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt lies this beautiful national park. I had a rental car for my stay so I took a self drive from my hotel in Sharm el Sheik to this location.


One of the first things you are greeted by is this beautiful lagoon:




Although this area was not swamped with tourists they were present. This area is a playground for Russian tourists. There were many tours tailored for them. I think Russian was spoken by the locals just as well as English. which is very unusual in my travels.



Yes, the water colors are amazing!


As I traveled further I was met by the Gates of Allah:


Showcasing the talents of Egyptian engineering and architecture.


This is a diverse park with a mixture of desert, salt water, and mountains.


One of the highlight of the park is the coral reefs. This area of Egypt is actually quite famous for diving and snorkeling. I did some snorkeling in another area of the peninsula.

Looking at the area you would not expect to see water in this area. The architecture is incredible and I am thinking it's been there a long time

The water is salt water from the gulf of Aqaba. There is no fresh water on the peninsula that I am aware of. But yeah, I agree, it does look odd to see this beautiful lagoon in the desert.
