  • White Island
  • Sandbar landing
  • Family friendly
Overview

Land on a sandbar that only appears at low tide.

Inside Ras Mohammed national park, White Island rises from the sea as the tide drops — a surreal strip of white sand surrounded by shallow, glowing water.

We pair a sandbar landing with two of the park’s gentlest reefs, making this the best Sharm day for families.

Trip questions

It depends on the tide. We time the visit for low tide, and when it’s covered the shallows are still stunning for swimming.

Yes — it’s our recommended Sharm trip for families, with calm stops and kids’ gear on board.

If the coastguard closes the sea, we move your trip to the next available day or refund you in full — your choice.
