Sitting in the Gulf of Aqaba, Tiran Island isn’t open to the public —it’s a military zone—, but the real draw is what’s underwater. Most boat trips from Sharm stop at reefs around the island—Jackson, Gordon, Woodhouse—where the coral is alive, the fish are everywhere, and the current keeps things interesting. It’s a great day out if you want good snorkelling or diving away from the coast.
