Review & FAQ:

Over in the Giftun Island National Park, Mahmya Island is undoubtedly one of Egypt's most visually striking beaches. It features exceptionally soft, golden sands and gorgeous, crystal clear waters, providing the idyllic conditions for a full range of activities. The island is only accessible by boat, so you'll have to pay a little extra to get here, but it's definitely worth the added cost, especially if you're interested in scuba diving or snorkeling. The local coral reefs are simply filled with exotic fish of all colors and forms. The island can actually get reasonably busy, with lots of tours and expeditions heading over here each day, but there's a lot of space on the sand and out in the sea for everyone to enjoy.
