Wadi El Gemal National Park

The Wadi El Gemal National Park stretches for about 60 km along Egypt's Red Sea coast. It covers 4,770 km² of land area and 2,100 km² of sea. There are several distinct areas in the park.

The Wadi El Gemal Island Area includes the Wadi El Gemal islands, as well as beautiful coral reefs. It is also home to a large concentration of the sooty falcon.
The Hankawareb Area features beaches and coral reefs. It is about 28 km south from Wadi El Gemal.
The Qalaan Area is 9 km north of the village.
The Hamata Area is characterized by the presence of mangroves, which are home to both endemic and migratory birds. The beginning of the national park is marked by Mount Hamata.
The Hamata Islands Area is 3 km (2 mi) from the beach opposite the village of Hamata. It is excellent for swimming and scuba-diving.

There is a freshwater source that flows into the sea, forming a low-salinity marsh. You can also see prehistoric rock art and Ptolemaic and Roman ruins in the park. Numerous animal species roam the park.

The Temple of Sket is located inside the park, as well as a museum that is dedicated to the Adabda tribes.

Marsa 'Alam is a good place to stay if you want to visit the national park.
