The Ras Mohammed National Park
was founded in 1983 by the Egypt’s government, being among the
first Egyptian national parks that were founded. The park was
created as a protection area for the complex ecosystem that has
more than 150 corals and 1000 fish species. The Egyptian law
protects the Ras Mohammed National Park so any development is
prevented. Numerous tourists come to see this park and if you
want to be one of them you must know that you need not only a
Sinai visa but a full Egyptian one. The park has an entrance
that can be considered a work of art and which depicts the
marine life of the park. Beside this marine life inside the park
you can meet wild animals like the desert` s fox; the mangrove
swamps and the inland lakes that grows right next to the sea are
also wonderful for exploring and taking pictures. The Marsa
Ghazlani Visitor’s center is the right place to start the trip
into the Ras Mohammed National Park. There are park rangers who
answer to the visitors` questions regarding the wildlife or the
areas for diving and snorkeling. The tourists also received maps
and instructions about the overnight camping. Of course the
snorkeling in this area is fantastic but the ones who want to
practice it have to know that the currents in this zone are very
strong and the directions of the water can be very unstable.
This is because the park is situated in the Sinai’s Southern
point. The Ras Mohammed National Park offers a presentation and
a slide show of the park’s geography and history. And if the
visitors get hungry, or just want to enjoy good food in the
park, there is a restaurant. |
