Ras Mohammed National Park is considered the jewel in the crown of the red sea. This name was given to the park by local fishermen for a cliff that resembles a man's profile. The park occupies a total of 480 sq km of land and sea, including the desert in and around the Ras (headland), Tiran Island, and the shore line between Sharm el-Sheikh harbour and Nabq protectorate. The park is visited by more than 50,000 visitors annually, enticed by the prospect of marveling at some of the world's most spectacular coral reef ecosystems, including a profusion of coral species and teeming marine life. Most, if not all, of the red sea's 1000 species of fish can be seen in the park's waters, including sought-after pelagics, such as hammer-heads, manta rays and whale sharks.
