Ras Mohammed, the extreme tip of the Sinai, has every right to be considered one of the finest dives of the world. Because of its geographic position, the Ras Mohammed peninsula is a privilege area.

Mainly because of the powerful streams and currents that bring large quantities of planktons and other food that give rise to an extraordinary growth of stony and soft corals and attract large schools of both reef and pelagic marine fauna. Given the great abundance of food, barracuda, jackfish, tuna and sharks swarm in these waters, offering divers the chance to make extremely interesting and exciting dives.

The classic diving sites begin at the southern tip of Marsa Bereika, known as Ras Zaatar, and continue along the eastern coast with Jackfish Alley, Eel Garden and Shark Observatory (also known as Ras Mohammed Wall), and at the southern end of the peninsula with Anemone City, Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef. In 1983 the Egyptian government founded the Ras Mohammed National Park with the aim to protect this complex and absolutely unique ecosystem, which counts over 1000 species of fish and 150 species of corals.

Terrestrial areas in the National Park are a stark contrast to the exuberance of color and life seen on the coral reef. Seemingly devoid of visible life, they are in fact home to the desert fox, Nubian Ibex (in the mountain areas), numerous small mammal species, reptiles and insects. Most of this fauna is difficult to see given their nocturnal habits. Fox are often seen in the vicinity of Main and Yolanda Beaches. They are harmless if approached with care, they should not be fed but can be provided with water. Fox cubs can be seen at sunset during late spring. All other wildlife should not be approached.
