The Ras Muhammed marine park near Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt

People wearing snorkeling equipment and clustered around rubber tubes in the Ras Muhammed marine park near Sharm el Sheikh

Tourists gathered around rubber tubes inside the Ras Muhammed marine park near the tourist town of Sharm el Sheikh, located in the Red Sea near the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula. There are a number of coral reefs in the area, and tourists come here for snorkeling, to enjoy the coral reefs and the colorful marine fish found around these reefs. In the photo, you can see these tourists all gathered around the rubber tubes, which provide a lot of moral support for people who are not comfortable in water that is deeper than their height. What makes an interesting angle is when you look behind the people and you can something shining in the background, which is the presence of coral reefs almost at the water surface.

I liked this kind of a photo. There are a number of tourists in the protected marine park called the Ras Muhammed marine park (which is a protected place where there are no commercial activity allowed including fishing, except for tourists - and further, there are a lot of restrictions with the tourists not allowed to even carry back pieces of coral from this location). This is a famous site for snorkeling, with a number of coral formations and the varied and colorful fish that are found in such locations. In this photo, all these visitors are wearing snorkeling equipment, and except for this girl who is standing in the water, everybody else is face down in the water, breathing through their air pipes.

Man wearing snorkeling equipment clutching onto a rubber tube meant for floating

A man at the Ras Muhammed marine park near the Sharm el Sheikh tourist town. Sharm el Sheikh is located on the Red Sea, located close to the southern point of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. The waters close to Sharm el Sheikh have a lot of attractiveness for tourists, given the excellent water temperature in water, and also the snorkeling and scuba diving that is done close by. In this photo, the rubber tube along with a man wearing snorkeling equipment is shown. The man is not wearing any life vests, so it seems a bit strange that he is clutching onto this tube, except if it is being done for just getting some support rather than to float.
