Snorkel with marine life and swim in a natural pool
Wadi El Gemal National Park offers one of Egypt's most spectacular combinations of desert wilderness and pristine Red Sea coastline. This protected reserve stretches across vast landscapes south of Marsa Alam, where untouched beaches meet ancient mangrove forests and coral reefs teem with marine life. Your full-day adventure includes hotel transfers, snorkelling equipment, lunch and refreshments, making it simple to explore this natural treasure.
The park's crown jewel is Sharm El-Luli beach, located 70 kilometres south of Marsa Alam. Here, soft white sand slopes into crystal-clear, stone-free waters perfect for swimming and snorkelling. The Qulaan Mangroves create a unique ecosystem where centuries-old trees rise from golden shores into calm blue waters, providing sanctuary for diverse wildlife including numerous bird species.
Your Wadi El Gemal experience is a full-day adventure lasting approximately 10 hours, giving you ample time to explore both the mangroves and beach areas. Hotel transfers from Marsa Alam are included, making transport hassle-free. The park entry fee of $10 is payable on arrival and not included in your ticket price.
Bring sunscreen, a hat and personal identification documents for your visit. The park terrain is not wheelchair accessible, so check accessibility requirements in advance if needed. Expert guides accompany your snorkelling sessions to point out the best coral gardens and marine life. For those seeking more Red Sea adventures, consider dolphin house snorkelling tours from Marsa Alam or sea turtle encounters at Abu Dabbab.
