Discover the Paradise of Mahmya Island

Getting There

• Water Taxi

  To reach Mahmya Island from Hurghada, start by heading to the Hurghada Marina, which is easily accessible by foot from most hotels in the downtown area. Once at the marina, look for the water taxi service that operates trips to Mahmya Island. The water taxis are usually well-marked, and you can ask locals or marina staff for directions. Buy your ticket and check the boat schedule, as departures may vary depending on the time of day. The journey to Mahmya Island typically takes around 30-45 minutes, during which you can enjoy the scenic views of the Red Sea.

• Tour Operator

  Another option is to book a day trip to Mahmya Island with a local tour operator. Many of these operators can be found along Sheraton Street or at tour desks in hotels. When you book through a tour operator, they usually provide transportation to the marina and take care of all the arrangements for the trip to Mahmya Island. Make sure to confirm the pickup time and location, and inquire if lunch is included, as many tours provide meals on the island. You will still take a water taxi as part of the tour.

• Public Beach Transfer

  If you prefer a more budget-friendly option, some public beaches in Hurghada might offer transfer services to Mahmya Island. Check with local beach facilities or inquire at your accommodation for any such offerings. These transfers are less frequent and may require some waiting time, but they can be a cost-effective way to explore the island. Just make sure to ask about the schedule and confirm the departure point.
