Frequently Asked Questions
At the port about 7 kilometres south of the centre. Taxis wait at the exit: agreeing the fare before you get in is the local golden rule, and the haggling is done without ill feeling.
No. It is 5 kilometres to Naama Bay and 7 to the old market: a taxi is essential. Distances stay short, though, so swimming, the market and a boat trip fit easily into one day.
The national park at the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula, some twenty kilometres from the port. It protects coral walls famous worldwide: clownfish in anemones, shoals of fusiliers, sea fans spread in the current.
No. Even snorkelling at the surface, the show never stops. Local centres look after beginners and certified divers alike, and excursions reach the park by road or by boat.
Yes, several, some of them from the Second World War. They are for experienced divers — the ones who come back talk about it all evening at the ship's bar.
Naama Bay. A pedestrian walkway runs along the beach between cafés, terraces and shops, swimming is easy and supervised, and the day needs no logistics: towel over the shoulder, sunscreen in the bag.
At the old market, about 7 kilometres from the port: stalls of spices, lamps, fabrics and dates. Bargaining is part of the game, always with a smile, and the vendors, formidable linguists, appreciate anyone who takes time to talk.
It is a good idea: some beaches front the reef directly, a few metres from shore. Bring reef-safe sun protection as well.
The Egyptian pound for small purchases. Hard currencies are accepted almost everywhere in the resort, which does not excuse you from keeping change for taxis and tips.
Morning. Morning departures give the calmest sea, and for Ras Mohammed it pays to book early. The Sinai sun is unforgiving: hat and plenty of water.
