Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you are driving, start from the main entrance of Ras Muhammad National Park. Follow the main road inside the park towards the south. After approximately 30 minutes of driving, keep an eye out for signs directing you to Jackfish Valley. The location is approximately 7 km south of the main park road. Once you reach the coordinates P7H5+G6, you will find the entrance to Jackfish Valley. Parking is available nearby but be prepared for a short walk to the actual site.
Public Transportation
If you are using public transportation, take a shared taxi (known locally as 'microbuses') from Sharm El Sheikh to Ras Muhammad National Park. Once you arrive at the park entrance, confirm with the driver or park staff about routes to Jackfish Valley. It may be necessary to hire a local guide or a private taxi from the park entrance to reach Jackfish Valley, as it is not directly accessible by public transport. Be aware that there may be an entry fee to the park, typically around 5-10 USD.
Walking
If you are already within Ras Muhammad National Park and prefer to walk, locate the trail markers that lead towards Jackfish Valley. The hike is approximately 3 km from the main park area. Ensure you have plenty of water and sun protection, as it can get quite hot. Keep in mind that the trails can be uneven, so sturdy footwear is recommended. The walk should take about 45 minutes depending on your pace.
