Sharm El-Sheikh Excursions. Why didn't they tell us this

- Sharm El-Sheikh is an amazing holiday destination with lots of exciting excursions. But tour operators don't tell you that White Island is really a sand bank under half a meter of water. Or you are going Quad biking with hundreds of other people. They don't tell you that every boat trip starts with a 1 - 2 hour wait at the harbour. They don.t tell you that there could be 50 - 60 boats and thousands of tourist on the reefs in Ras Mohammed National Park. Or if you go outside of your hotel you can get a cheap taxi to the Old Town to see Al Sahaba Mosque, the spice markets or Farsha Mountain bar.
Watch this video, know what to expect then you won't be disappointed. I took my 12 year old son on a few of the excursions available. Ras Mohammed was like human soup. there were more tourists than fish. By far the best was Tiran Island, less tourists more sea life and stunning coral reefs.

Superb that. Lots of info and great underwater video.
Thank You - The next video will be about snorkelling & diving from the resort beach.

Yes the water is beautiful but we were sold a white sandy island surrounded by beautiful water
Good content , Will.do Tirun & Farsa next time. Xmas was great in Sharm

About the "White Island" sometimes you really have the "islands", it all depends on the time of the day, if whether the tide is high or low.
Hi Andrew brilliant video, thanks very much, can i ask what camera you used and who did you book your trips through, we were looking at ras & white island but having second thoughts, we arrive mid june
Thanks

Hi Nick. I used a GoPro Hero10. I was particularly blown away by the quality while filming on the quad bike. The camera shook so much that it kept falling off the front rack yet the video is perfect. Used the same camera underwater ua-cam.com/video/wqYx5pUeCpY/v-deo.html
I booked the boat trips through a tourist excursion shop called Dream Safari opposite the Amphoras Beach Hotel in Hadaba district. He had a printed sheet with all the prices on. I booked the quad bikes in a shop in Naama bay and he was trying to charge double what dream safari were charging.
Dream Safari told me afterwards that White Island appears in the hottest months of the year July / August. The Dive shop told me the best time to visit Ras Mohammed for diving is December / January as very few tourists.
The snorkelling and diving was better at Tiran Island but I'm glad I went to Ras Mohammed.
Andrew
Very nice video! If I may ask what camera gear do you use
It was filmed on a GoPro 10
Not all excursions are the same, my guide took me to the real echo valley
Hi Andrew, just watched this video. We are going there next week. Would you say Tiran island is a better choice of trip than Ras Mohammed?
I thought Tiran Island was much better than Ras Mohammed, more fish and better coral. The day we went to Tiran Island we only saw 3 other boats. Ras Mohammed had boats and people everywhere, a lot of the coral had also been smashed by careless tourists. White Island was a waste of time. I would have rather spent more time on one of the reefs at R.M.
I paid $25 per person for Ras Mohammed and $20 per person for Tiran Island. If you need to hire snorkelling gear hire it at the harbour, not on the boat. Everything is more expensive on the boat.
If your not a diver and want to try it, book when you make the booking, they should charge $10 while on the boat they charged me $20 for my 12 year old son.
And finally don't for get to take a towel. The boats won't let you up stairs or inside if your wet. I was told they were charging $35 for towels at the harbour. There was ample free food and drink on both trips.
Hello how were you able to book for the trip to the Ras Mohammed and White Island?
If ur staying in nabq bay, you can book through falcon
There are lots of place to book a trip to Ras Mohammed. You will have no problem booking it when you are there 1 or 2 days before the trip
Hello sir! Just wanted to ask, if there is a lot of wind in Sharm el Sheikh? I hope not ;)
Im going next summer :)
It's perfect in winter than summer
Go in October or November ❤
I'm from Egypt ❤❤
Summer is too hot , been Xmas . Spot on
Sharm el sheikh and Ras Mohamed is such a beautiful place!!! I'm going for the second time with my family. Tbh it just sounds like this guy is so ungrateful. Maybe you didnt do your research before the trip but there's the online world to help you book so you don't be disappointed by the smallest of things. Like for example the White Island like its anyones fault the sea water has risen. In life there are things out of your control. Relax and enjoy the holiday. Seems like you're missing the point.
are younger children alllowed here in the evening
Organized chaos is normal in egypt ,
Cairo etc it is , not Sharm , it's chilled 😊
Just wondering how did you book these excursions and did you do it before you arrived or when in Egypt? Thanks !
