10 Nature & Parks in Red Sea and Sinai That You Shouldn't Miss

July 29, 2021 Oliva Fomby

Traditional attitudes prevail in the historic Sinai region on Egypt's border with Israel. The triangular peninsula is divided from the rest of Egypt by the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. Craggy mountains, including 7500-foot Mount Sinai, plunge down to the waters of the Red Sea. Spectacular snorkeling and diving sites beckon from the Gulf of Aqaba to the east of the peninsula, particularly along the dramatic coastline of Na'ama Bay in Sharm el Sheikh. Camelback safaris offer distinctive desert excursions.

Mount Sinai

Reviewed By fulla_alrad1 - Kuwait City, Kuwait

An incredible experience where you feel the special energy in this place and Sinai Desert in general. It is absolutely magical! You immediately start to feel a sense of calmness and peace. The wonderful thing about it, all religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) have in common that Mount Sinai was the place where prophet Moses received the 10 commands, which is why Mount Sinai is also referred as Mount Moses

Great diving and snorkeling area.

Reviewed By jo9161evans

Amazing to snorkel. I stayed at faraana reef hotel in january and am booked to stay at reef oasis hotel next year booked these places specifically as I'd read it was good for snorkelling and it was. The second u put your feet in the water there are tons of coloured fish everywhere amazing the reef comes at you quick at the sides then drops over there are llatoons that you can walk out over there reff though the water underneath is so clear. There are fossils all in the sand cant wait to go back

Carless Reef

Reviewed By AhmedAdly - Hurghada, Egypt

I have been diving Carless Reef since 1990. It has always been an amazing dive spot. It is also a very important place for scientific research since it was completely eaten alive in 1995 by the Crown Of Thorns Star Fish. and has now re-grown to amazing abundance as it used to be. Carless reef proves how resilient the red Sea corals are and how fast they can re grow.
