Mahmya is a managed beach on Giftun Kebir with shade and a shallow lagoon. Boats stay on moorings outside the reef, and the snorkelling is on the reefs nearby.
On a private boat you choose when to arrive and how long to stay, and the captain can add other reefs around Giftun or Abu Ramada for snorkelling.
Do not touch or stand on coral, do not feed the fish, and take nothing from the sea. Leave no rubbish on the beach or in the water. More in the Giftun Islands.
