If you are looking for a scuba diving Shangri La, Mahmya Island in the Giftun Island National Park is the place for you. An adventurous 45-minutes by boat from Hurghada, spend the day here snorkeling among the coral reefs and underwater garden in the most picturesque part of the Red Sea. Visiting the national park and the magnificence of Mahmya is like an exotic escape. Delve into the depths of the water and experience a world of rainbow fish and dolphins. It might get more than a little busy here with tour groups during high season, but the focus is on ecotourism and the support of the Red Sea’s delicate aquatic ecosystem. Visiting the island is experience you won’t forget.
