What I want to tell you, ladies and gentlemen. If you arrive in Sharm on the Sinai Peninsula, under no circumstances should you buy from the guide the vaunted excursion to the reserve and the "pearl of the desert" Ros Mohammed by bus. Especially for $40, and even for $20 do not buy.
For 12$? it might even be better on a yacht.
The most common piece of the Sinai desert is called a reserve to take tourists to look at the sand and the sea. The entrance to the territory costs only $ 5, so it's better to go there for a boat trip, there is nothing to do on land, all the same can be seen on the outskirts of Sharm. In the reserve there are mangroves, rare and small, in Nabq in the North of Sharm you can see Mangroves bigger and more beautiful.
in Ros-Mukhamad you will be shown the most common mini-canyon in the form of a fault in the rock, supposedly the coldest lake in Egypt, which is not a lake, but a bay of the sea, which, when drying up, periodically disconnects from the sea and forms a closed reservoir filled with groundwater.
There is a hill on which there are telescopes from which you can look at Sharm, but there is no infrastructure in the reserve up to a normal equipped staircase and climbing this mountain. The conditions are terrible, there is a lot of garbage and gobies around, since there are no trash cans, nothing, garbage, labels, bags, gobies and cigarette butts float in the lake next to the mangroves in the water. The state of the "reserve" is as bad as the laziness of the average Arab - according to the principle "I don't want to do anything, give money for alms and living"
You can’t walk around the reserve, it’s big enough, but it makes no sense to go on a tour by bus - you won’t see anything outstanding.
A boat trip through the reserve is not much better than sailing on a yacht to anywhere in the sea near Sharm - yes, beautiful underwater corals and a rich underwater world, but you will see the same thing underwater without entering the reserve. In general, do not take an excursion here for fabulous money. You will be shown just sand and two lakes with gobies from tourists, who are not forbidden to litter there.
