Ras Mohamed is one of the world’s most famous dive sites located at the tip of the Sinai
The effect of currents coming down from the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Acaba, play a part in the richness and variety of marine life. The feature that distinguishes this location from any other, is the colour of the walls.
Walls, falls, plateaus, you will find all the possibilities, with pelagic in gills and, depending on the season, fascinating encounters with the whale shark, or the manta ray.
It is said: the sea gives, the sea takes. Here, in Sinai, the sea gives endlessly in Allah’s aquarium

On your return you will be recharged: you will take with you the sun and the soul and your eyes full of life and colour.
