The story of Ras Mohammed
Ras Mohammed, at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula where the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba meet, became Egypt's first national park in 1983. Its reefs, such as Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef, are among the most famous dive sites in the world.
On land, the park protects mangroves, salt lagoons and desert cliffs. In the water, steep coral walls drop into the deep blue, with turtles, barracuda and schools of fish.
