Ras Mohammed by Bus or by Yacht

Ras Mohammed Reserve by Bus suits those who want to see not only the coral reefs but also the land sites: the Gates of Allah, mangrove groves, the natural fault, and the Lake of Wishes.

The yacht sea program is more focused on time at sea and snorkeling stops. The bus excursion is shorter and lets you return to the hotel at approximately 14:00.
