About this experience
What makes this Hamata Islands tour unique is its access to one of the least crowded and most untouched marine reserves in Egypt. Unlike typical Red Sea excursions, this trip takes you to the pristine Siyul Islands—an area known for its rare coral formations, incredibly clear water, and the chance to see marine species you won’t encounter elsewhere, including dugongs, vibrant reef fish, and sea turtles.
Your boat docks directly on a tropical island, allowing you to walk along untouched white-sand beaches and explore calm lagoons surrounded by nature. The islands’ large bird populations make the experience even more special, offering a blend of snorkeling, wildlife encounters, and scenic relaxation in a peaceful, uncrowded setting.
With crystal waters, thriving reefs, and the serenity of a natural sanctuary, this tour delivers a truly exclusive Red Sea experience.
