Nestled off the Red Sea coast of Hurghada, Mahmya Island is actually a section of Big Giftun Island within the Giftun Islands. This picturesque spot offers sandy beaches where visitors can relax and soak up the sun. The vibrant coral reef, accessible from the beach or by boat, invites snorkelers to explore its underwater wonders. For a unique experience, rent a ‘Sea-Spi’ glass-bottom watercraft to view the marine life without getting wet. When hunger strikes, several restaurants provide dining options, making it a perfect day trip destination.
