Tour Overview

Qulaan Hamata Island – Explore the Egyptian Maldives

Often called the “Egyptian Maldives,” Qulaan and Hamata Island is one of the most breathtaking destinations on the Red Sea. With its shimmering turquoise waters, untouched white-sand beaches, and vibrant coral reefs, this trip offers a unique blend of nature, adventure, and serenity.

A Natural Paradise

Our journey begins at Hamata Port, located about 110 km south of Marsa Alam. After a scenic 30–40-minute boat ride, we arrive at our first stop: the pristine Hamata Island. Snorkeling lovers can join a guided swim toward the island along the reef, while others can transfer via zodiac boat. This uninhabited island is pure and untouched — no sunbeds, umbrellas, or restrooms — just soft sand, crystal-clear water, seagulls soaring above, and tiny crabs darting along the shore. We stay here for about 30 minutes to enjoy the island’s untouched beauty.

Snorkeling Adventure & Lunch at Sea

After returning to the boat, we stop at vibrant coral reefs for snorkeling sessions. You’ll explore the underwater world filled with colorful fish and marine life. A freshly prepared lunch is served onboard, followed by a second snorkeling stop to end the day with more ocean magic.

Important Notes

  • Hamata Port is located far south; the transfer from hotels in northern Marsa Alam can be long (expect 2–3 hours).
  • A short stop is made in Marsa Alam for snacks, drinks, and restroom use.
  • Always bring a copy of your passport on sea trips.
  • Pack a breakfast box, water, and a travel pillow or light cover for comfort during the transfer.
  • If you’d like to help, consider bringing food or drinks for the local children often seen near Hamata Port.
