Mahmya, which means “Protected Area” in Arabic, lies on the southern edge of the Giftun Island National Park, renowned for its rich marine life. To help preserve the area, boats moor offshore at designated buoys, and smaller boats will take you to the island. This ensures the protection of the delicate coral reefs and marine ecosystems, so you can explore in a pristine environment.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at the island’s restaurant, where you can indulge in a variety of seafood dishes and Italian specialties, with drinks available at the bar throughout the day. For those who want a closer look at the underwater world without getting wet, glass-bottom boats are available to rent, offering a unique perspective of the colorful marine life below.

Maintained under strict conservation efforts, Mahmya offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Hurghada, making it an ideal destination for families, couples, and nature lovers alike. After a day of relaxation, snorkeling, and sightseeing, sail back to the marina and enjoy a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.
