You’re going to love Sharm el-Sheikh
Sharm el-Sheikh sits at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where the Red Sea meets some of the most famous reefs in the world. Resorts and marinas line the coast, and just beyond them lies Ras Mohammed National Park, about 25 km to the southwest.
Our boat days leave from the Sharm marina towards Ras Mohammed and White Island: pirate-themed sailing ships, Elite VIP cruises and a comfortable day-sail yacht, with snorkelling stops, lunch on board and hotel pick-up, plus a semi-submarine for a dry look at the reef.
