Ras Mohammed - is a National Park in Egypt, on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, on the banks of the Bay of Suez in the west and Gulf of Aqaba to the east.

When Sinai Peninsula returned to Egypt, Ras Muhammad was reported for protection against fishing and other human activities.

Some of the fishing methods, such as using dynamite and knives were also affecting the coral reef and the fish population.

In 1983, the Agency for the Egyptian Environment (EEA) established an area as a marine reserve for the protection of marine and terrestrial wildlife.

The park was also established to protect against urban sprawl from Sharm el-Sheikh and other coastal development.
