How to get to Marsa Goslani snorkeling spot?
Marsa Goslani is a small bay located south of Sharm el-Sheikh, in the northern part of Ras Muhammad National Park.
The easiest option to get there is by boat, with a snorkeling or diving tour. You can book your tour at a local diving club or at your hotel (approximately $40pp. for the day, meals and drinks included). Boats leave from the port of Sharm el-Sheikh, which is 2 nautical miles (approximately 4km) north of the spot. Some tours include snorkeling stops in other locations.
You can also reach the spot by road, either with your vehicle, or by taxi, or taking part in a land tour. If you are going on your own, take El-Tor road for about 8km from the port, then Ras Muhammad road which goes to the left just before the police station. 3.2 km after the fork, follow the track on the left, which will take you to the shore (800m).

Marsa Goslani snorkeling exploration tips
The recommended snorkeling area covers the coral reef that edges the northern shore of the bay. It starts at the northern end of the beach and stretches over 500m towards the east.

The reef is made up of a shallow flat (↕1-2ft/0.5m), ending in a drop off that falls down to the depths (↕15-30ft/5-10m). Follow the reef edge to discover its colorful underwater life.
The coral cover is healthy, with several types of hard corals, including Porites, fire corals, brain and finger corals.

While snorkeling this spot, you will see many species of fish, some endemic to the Red Sea. The Sohal surgeonfish, the rusty parrotfish, the Arabian Picasso triggerfish and several species of butterflyfish are particularly common in the area.
