Itinerary of the Boat Trip to Mahmya

Located about a 45-minute boat ride from the mainland, Mahmya (meaning “Protected Area” in Arabic) restricts large boats from docking near the shore to preserve its world-class coral reefs.

The beach of Mahmya tops Hurghada’s list of things to do whilst on holiday. So it’s a must-see for anyone who visits Hurghada for tourists reaching this resort.
The only way to get to the island of mahmya, situated on the Giftun Islands, is to book one of the boat trips that will take you there. The boat ride itself adds to the experience of the whole day. You’ll leave Hurghada Marina and sail for around an hour or so on the glistening blue waters until you reach the island.
Once you reach Mahmya, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve stepped off the boat and straight onto a Caribbean island. The glowing white sand and crystal clear waters are like nothing you’ve ever seen. Look out on the way because if you’re lucky, you might spot a pod of dolphins swimming along in the wake. So make sure you don’t forget your camera.
Enjoy a few hours of free time to get a bite to eat before relaxing under one of the beach umbrellas and snorkelling amongst the beautiful coral reef.
