EXCURSION TIRAN ISLAND FROM SHARM – COMPLETE GUIDE 2025 TO THE RED SEA
Theexcursion to Tiran Island from Sharm El Sheikh is one of the most appreciated boat trips by snorkeling and diving lovers. Here the sea is deeper than other areas and corals reach spectacular dimensions, with a very rich marine fauna.
This guide explains how the excursion takes place, what makes Tiran special, what are the typical stops and who is recommended.
Where Tiran Island is located
Tiran Island is located in the Strait of Tiran, at the entrance of the Gulf of Aqaba. It is an area of great natural interest, frequented by snorkeling boats and diving boats.
How the excursion takes place
Departure from Sharm Port
The boat leaves the port in the morning. During navigation you cross very blue sea areas and reach the rest points near the island.
Snorkelling supports
The day usually includes 2-3 snorkeling stops in places with:
- huge corals;
- coloured fish beds;
- walls that descend deep.
The water is deeper than many Sharm bays, so it is important to feel comfortable in the open sea.
Relax on board
Between one stop and the other there is time to relax in the sun, eat and enjoy the view of the Red Sea.
To whom Tiran Island is recommended
It is particularly suitable for:
- who has already snorkeled and is not afraid of deep water;
- who loves the rich seabed and wants to see bigger fish;
- who is also interested in diving (many boats combine the two experiences).
For those who are at the very first experience with the sea, an excursion like White Island or Ras Mohammed with less deep stretches can be more suitable.
Practical advice
- Always use life jacket if you are not experienced;
- Bring a good quality mask to enjoy the details of corals;
- Follow the directions of the guide and do not get too far from the boat;
- Protect from the sun with hat and sunscreen.

Conclusion
Theexcursion to Tiran Island is one of the best choices for those who want to live the wildest side of the Red Sea, with deep water, imposing corals and a wide variety of fish. It requires some confidence with the sea, but gives images that remain imprinted.
