Snorkeling Tour to Mahmya Island from El Gouna

A representative of Rotana Travel shall arrive at your hotel situated in El Gouna and take you on an exciting day trip to Mahmya, cruising on either of the two boats to Mahmya. As a part of the national marine park ‘Giftun’ lying adjacent to the shores of El Gouna, enjoy a day on the beautiful Mahmya Island nestled within the Red Sea. The day tour lasts for the entire day and includes transportation in an air conditioned car to and from the hotel and also a one hour sailing trip.After your transfer is completed, begin by boarding a sturdy vessel and enjoy sailing across the azure waters. Enjoy the sights of the beautiful sugar white sand beaches adorned with palm’s gold straw huts. Relax as you cruise over the beautiful Red Sea, looking out for the friendly dolphins. On getting to Mahmya, you will have the opportunity to snorkel the beautiful coral heads located in the clear lagoon. Enjoy some beach time as well as swimming in the clear waters.
Mahmya Beach is found on the southern shores of Giftun Island National Park, which lies off the El Gouna coast. In Arabic, Mahmya means a ‘no-go zone’. For the preservation of the coral reef and marine life, all boats have to moor at buoys far from the clear waters, and it is the smaller boats that will ferry you to the beach.
Dine at the restaurant where beach bums craving for seafood and Italian cuisine will be satisfied at the island restaurant while the bar will be working during the whole day.
Although it is located not far from the buildings of El Gouna, Mahmya has remained an oasis of calm and should be the ideal place of retreat for everyone. Such boats called “glass bottoms” can be rented so that you can see the fish without getting soggy wet.
Sail back to the marina for a transfer to your hotel at the end of the day.
