Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to visit protected areas?
Most national and marine parks charge an entry fee and some areas need a permit or a licensed guide. Check the conditions for each park before you go.
Can I snorkel or dive in the marine parks?
Yes, at many sites such as Ras Mohammed, but follow reef rules: don't touch corals, stand on reefs or feed fish.
Is it safe to explore the desert on my own?
Go with a licensed guide or operator, carry plenty of water, and avoid unmarked areas and travelling after dark.
