Mahmya Island

Mahmya Island, off the coast of Hurghada (Al Ghardaqah), is a protected beach escape within the Giftun Island National Park. Reached by boat, it offers clear, shallow waters, coral reefs suited to beginner and intermediate snorkelers, and a relaxed, low-impact setup with shaded loungers and simple beach dining. Marine life is the main draw—expect colorful reefs and occasional dolphin sightings. Facilities are limited but well kept; no motorized sports on the reef. Ideal for day-trippers seeking calm swimming, snorkeling, and a quieter alternative to Hurghada’s busier beaches. Bookings typically include boat transfer, lunch, and reef fees.
