A Memorable Mahmya Island Day Trip

A Mahmya Island day trip is a full-day excursion from Hurghada, typically lasting 7–8 hours, to a protected eco-tourism beach on Giftun Island. Known for its white sand beaches and clear turquoise waters, Mahmya offers a peaceful Red Sea escape away from crowded resorts, ideal for travelers seeking a relaxed and natural setting.

The experience begins with an early hotel pickup in Hurghada, followed by a smooth transfer to the marina. From there, you board a well-equipped boat and enjoy a scenic Red Sea cruise, with open sea views and gentle breezes as you approach the island.

Upon arrival, the pace slows. Mahmya Island snorkeling takes place in clear, shallow waters with vibrant coral reefs, while the remainder of the day is reserved for beach relaxation and free time. A beachfront lunch is served, allowing guests to rest and enjoy the surroundings before the return journey.

In the afternoon, you cruise back to the marina and transfer comfortably to your hotel in Hurghada. Travelers often pair this experience with other Hurghada Day Trips to explore different sides of the region, from cultural sightseeing to desert and city excursions, depending on how long they stay in Hurghada. Guests who enjoy cultural sites may also check Egypt sightseeing excursions for additional options on different days.
