The best snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh: boat trips to Ras Mohammed, White Island and Tiran Island, Dahab's 3 Pools, private boats and catamaran cruises.
Ras Mohammed National Park, at the southern tip of Sinai, is famous for its walls of coral and huge schools of fish. Most snorkeling boats combine two reef stops in Ras Mohammed with time at White Island, a white sandbank in turquoise water. Choose a classic boat, the Liberty catamaran, the Black Pearl pirate ship, a pirate sailing boat, the VIP boat or a luxury yacht. If you prefer to travel by road, Ras Mohammed by bus includes one hour of snorkeling.
North of Sharm El Sheikh, the reefs of the Strait of Tiran are among the most famous snorkeling spots in the Red Sea, with clear water and colorful coral. The Tiran Island snorkeling trip includes two snorkeling stops, lunch and drinks. To try diving too, the Tiran Island intro dive trip adds a 15-minute first dive with a certified instructor.
In Dahab you can snorkel at the 3 Pools as part of a full day trip with a camel ride and a Bedouin lunch. If you want the boat only for your group, book a private boat to Ras Mohammed or Tiran for up to 10 people, or a private speed boat with snorkeling stops for up to 6 people. Each trip page shows if snorkeling equipment, lunch and park fees are included.
