Marine national park at the southern tip of Sinai, a well-known dive destination.
Ras Mohammed, at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, became Egypt's first national park in 1983. Where the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba meet, its reef walls drop steeply into deep water and attract turtles, reef sharks and dense schools of fish. Mangroves and fossil reefs line the shore.
