Mahmya beach is one of the top three best beaches in the world! It is the only beach in Hurghada and Egypt that is truly worth visiting. The water is warm and shallow, the colors are unreal, the sand is great, and the beach is nicely arranged. One side of the beach has multiple levels with stairs for taking amazing pictures.
The only downside is the difficulty in getting there, as it is located on a separate island and not part of any resort. It is on the same island as Orange beach, but Mahmya is superior in every way. When we visited in October 2020, only tourist agencies offered tours to Mahmya, so be cautious when organizing a visit with locals. Make sure to specifically request Mahmya, not Paradise beach, Orange beach, or any other.
The price to visit is not cheap, at 79€ per person. However, this includes lunch at the beach restaurant, four free drinks, sunbeds, and an umbrella. You can enjoy Mahmya from 11am to 4pm, with the option to go diving for an hour with a free mask provided. I chose not to dive so I could fully appreciate this magnificent beach, and it was time well spent.
I highly recommend a visit to Mahmya, it is truly incredible!
