Ras Muhammad National Park
South Sinai Governorate, Egypt
Egyptian national park in South Sinai. It lies in Egypt's desert belt, best visited between October and April.
Why visit: Ras Muhammad's reefs, Wadi Al-Hitan's fossil whales and the Sinai mountains — protected landscapes that are nothing like the Nile Valley.
- ›Go with a licensed operator — several reserves require one
- ›Bring everything you need; there are no shops inside
- ›Start early for the wildlife and the cooler hours
- ›Stay on marked tracks; the desert damage from off-roading is permanent
