Orange Bay

Unforgettable Tropical Escape at Orange Bay, Hurghada! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​Often dubbed the “Maldives of Egypt,” Orange Bay on Giftun Island is a absolute must-visit for anyone traveling to Hurghada! With its powdery white sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, it feels like stepping straight onto a postcard. ​What Made It Special ​Stunning Aesthetic & Iconic Photo Spots: The iconic wooden walkways leading into the sea, water swings, and wooden hammocks offer unmatched photo opportunities. ​Safe, Shallow Waters: The water stays warm, clear, and very shallow for a long distance out, making it exceptionally safe and easy for young kids and non-confident swimmers to splash around. ​Magical Snorkeling Stops: Most boat tours include offshore stops at the coral reefs along the way, where you can snorkel among vibrant marine life, tropical fish, and occasionally dolphins or sea turtles. ​Great Island Amenities: Unlike many secluded island stops, Orange Bay offers clean rest facilities, well-maintained wooden loungers, shade, and small beach bars. ​Tips for Visitors ​Bring a waterproof phone pouch or camera for the water swings and snorkeling stops. ( recommend water shoe ) ​Pack plenty of high-factor sun protection, as the white sand reflects the intense Egyptian heat. ​A perfectly organized day out that offers a great mix of relaxation and marine adventure! I booked with J&W Tours would highly recommend them 👌 can also find more info by adding them on Instagram and Facebook

I order, and while waiting other 5 waiters are asking you the same……
