How to Get There
Reaching Ras Mohammed National Park from Sharm El-Sheikh is easy and convenient. The park is only 30-40 minutes away by car. Visitors can hire taxis, join organized tours, or rent private transfers. Most tourists choose to visit as part of guided snorkeling or diving tours, which include transportation, guides, and equipment. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even rent a bike to explore the area, but the summer heat can be challenging.
When to Get There
The best time to visit Ras Mohammed National Park is during the cooler months from October to April, when temperatures range between 20°C and 28°C, creating perfect conditions for snorkeling, diving, and exploring. Early morning or late afternoon visits are ideal to avoid crowds and experience calmer waters. During summer (May to September), temperatures can exceed 35°C, but the Red Sea remains refreshing for underwater activities. Aim to arrive early in the day for the best visibility and marine life encounters.
