Mahmya Nature Reserve Tour – Egypt's Most Protected Coral Ecosystem

Mahmya is where the Red Sea remains entirely itself. Part of Giftun Island National Park — a protected marine reserve maintained by the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency — Mahmya is the most carefully preserved stretch of coral reef accessible to visitors in the Hurghada area. Access is strictly managed, visitor numbers are controlled, and the result is a reef system that has retained its extraordinary biodiversity: hundreds of fish species, hard and soft corals in brilliant colour, and water so clear that snorkellers regularly describe feeling as though they are flying over an underwater city. AMUN BAY is proud to offer responsible, low-impact access to Mahmya as part of our commitment to sustainable tourism in the Red Sea region. This is not just a beach day. It is an encounter with a living ecosystem — one that rewards every visitor with a sense of quiet awe.
