The island of Big Giftun is where every boat docks and you have a few hours to relax. As such, you will find a restaurant, bar, shisha lounge, sunbeds and an observation tower.

These tropical islands are truly breathtaking and offer fine facilities to enjoy a day in the sun. It is about 45 to 60 minutes by boat until you reach the Giftun Islands. Our first stop was at Little Giftun, here we were allowed to jump off board to admire the marine life with our own eyes. All the snorkeling gear was on board, but you can of course bring your own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our second stop was at Big Giftun, but before we were taken to the islands we had lunch on board. While we were at anchor, a floating supermarket also sailed by. Our boat ride included food and drinks, but it's certainly nice to sponsor the locals by buying a Coke.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cb0a922 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"78234\" data-id=\"cb0a922\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7084931\" data-eae-slider=\"40266\" data-id=\"7084931\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba13765 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ba13765\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Snorkeling at the Giftun Islands<\/h3><p>Egypt ranks high on the list of the world's most beautiful snorkeling and diving destinations. The coral reefs in the Red Sea are still very colorful and there is an awful lot of marine life. There are some 300 species of coral and 1,200 species of fish you can encounter in Egypt's waters. So during the boat trip to the Giftun Islands, there are several stops at beautiful coral reefs where you can snorkel. Depending on which boat trip you book, you can also dive at the Giftun Islands.
