Such a wonderful day! - We first stopped at Allah gate. Its an amazing sight to see those ancient rocks in the desert. Our guide Mohammad from Bella tours was very informative and gave us a lot of details at each stop and answered all our queries. The magic lake and the mangroves around are surreal...such beautiful clear waters. We stopped at a diving store to rent all our equipments. The entire set of snorkels, flippers, diving suit and life jacket cost 20USD. If you choose to pay in EGP then they charge you a flat rate of 50EGP to a dollar, which I found was the rate being charged all over in Sharm El Sheikh. However, the same equipment cost us 10USD on the Dahab tour. Snorkeling at Ras Mohammed was the highlight of the tour. The water initially felt very cold, but as we moved further away from the shore, the water was warm. Our guide in the water was very patient and helped us adjust to the water and our snorkels. He took us to the best spots to see the fishes and the beautiful corals. Overall I had a wonderful day and would love to return to Ras Mohammad again, just for those amazing corals.

A great day out - A wonderful trip, with an excellent guide. He was well versed with the area, took us to a great coral reef, which was an unknown hidden gem, with not many tourists.
The rift area was nice and the mangroves majestic.
Well organised trip...

An Coral Experience Like No Other - This is quite frankly a must if you go to Sharm. Picked up from the hotel and the mini bus was ride on time ☺️. Then switched to a coach which took us along to a rental store for equipment. This was Mask, Flippers, Body Suit and Life Jacket. We didn't use the flippers and had our own mask/snorkel tube. Cost there was 900 egp (about £23 for two people £3.75/item). There's a few things to see there (mangroves, earthquake crack, magic lake) but really the highlight is the incredible coral reef. We were lucky enough to have a guide who took us around on a lifebouy ring. You will never ever see such a wide variety of beautiful fish in such a short space of time. The corals were off the scale, I was left awestruck. With every movement you'd be in another area... With a complely different array of fishes. Come to Sharm, do not miss this.

Some of the bluest water you will ever see in Egypt - From the start, this was a very informative trip and allowed us the chance to rent snorkeling gear at the local shop for $4 each, snorkel for an hour and a half in the Suez Gulf, have a short dip at magic lake, view the earthquake crack, and stop at mangrove forest. I enjoyed the fact that none of the destinations were too far apart from each other, and you got enough time at each stop. Overall, the company was effective at communication from pick up to drop off, and take really great and colorful photos. I would highly recommend to those wanting to go visit Ras Mohammed.

With the wind it's not worth it - The smart and friendly guide, the land tour more interesting than the one by sea. But as usual in Egypt you are assailed by additional surcharges: photos, snorkeling equipment, Bedouin tent.
We also had the misfortune of having a windy day that didn't allow us to swim so the tour didn't last long... About a couple of hours... Very little

Too large a group! - Very large group (45) when max 15 expected!
Booked an English guide, had to ask for info in English, very much an afterthought.
Snorkeling was great, but again no English guide, luckily I'm a confident swimmer so just made sure I could hear Italian close by - confirming I was in the right group!
