Ras Mohammed Yacht

A yacht to Ras Mohammed National Park delivers Sharm's finest day on the water — sailing to the tip of the Sinai peninsula where the reef falls away into deep blue over some of the Red Sea's most celebrated walls.

The park's coral is protected and pristine, and the sheer drop-offs draw a spectacular cast of fish, with the chance of turtles, rays and reef sharks below. Snorkellers get vivid shallow gardens while divers work the famous walls; most trips include lunch aboard and stops at more than one reef.

Cruising out by yacht rather than a crowded boat makes for a calmer, more comfortable way to reach these legendary sites.
