Entering the water requires walking over sharp, cutting reefs; water shoes are absolutely necessary to protect your feet from injuries
Facilities:
Desert park restrooms are very basic and lack supplies; bringing your own tissues and hand sanitizer is absolutely necessary
Protection:
Don’t forget your high-SPF sunscreen; the open desert lacks natural shade, leaving you exposed to brutal sunburn
Checkpoints:
Bring your original physical passport, not a copy; military checkpoints on the road to the national park will strictly inspect it before allowing the bus to enter

National Park Fees: Verify if the mandatory gate entrance ticket is included; many cheap street offers exclude this fee, forcing you to pay cash on the bus.
Bedouin Tent Lunch: Meals served at the desert tent are very basic and traditional; do not expect a luxury dining experience or a lavish open buffet on this tour.
The Iconic Cliff: The famous Ras Mohamed rock cliff and its direct dive site are never included in standard bus tours; you must book a private trip to access them.
Camp Photographers: Photographers are not included in your ticket; agree on the exact price per photo beforehand and refuse any "free test shots" until the deal is clear.
Dehydration Risk: Operators usually provide only two small water bottles, which isn't enough for the brutal desert heat; secure at least two large 1.5L bottles per person.
Last-Minute Upgrades: Adding an intro dive or renting snorkel gear on the spot often costs double; make up your mind early and include them in your advance booking.
Zero Desert Shade: There is absolutely no natural shade in the park; bring a wide-brimmed hat and high-SPF sunscreen, or severe sunburns will ruin the rest of your vacation.
