Drive to the only place in the northern hemisphere where the Mangrove trees grow in the salt water and see the Fiddler crabs around the water’s edge. See what the locals call the ‘Earth Crack’, a fissure formed during an earthquake thousands of years ago, and the Magic Lake, a beautiful salt water lake formed by a sand bank from the Red Sea. Take the opportunity to swim in this lake which is supposed to have magical properties. You will also have the opportunity to take some amazing photos in front of the port of Allah. Stop at three different locations along the coast offering opportunities to swim or snorkel around the coral reefs from some of the park’s famous beaches. The waters here are beautifully clear and warm and the corals give a home to over a thousand different species of colorful tropical fish. Then drive back to your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh
