Island Life

Hop over to Giftun Islands, a short boat ride away from Hurghada’s coastline. These islands fall under a to preserve their natural beauty, so visits are pre-arranged and there is an entry fee. Upon landing on shore, you’ll have the distinct feeling of being transported to a tropical beach! Straw huts dot pristine white sand with clear blue water as far as the eye can see. Giftun Islands offer resort-style packages at several beaches for day use options.

Mahmeya Island

An ecotourism initiative on Giftun that organizes programs combining laid-back beach time with excellent food, beach sports and fun activities for kids. Special Mahmeya boats run daily from Hurghada every morning and return at sunset.


Snorkeling, Diving, and Exploring

Incredible snorkeling, diving, and exploring underwater caves around the islands, some as deep as 45 m, along with biodiverse marine life and coral reefs.
