Ozirea Island

Ozirea Island is the newest, and the most polished, of the Giftun islands you can reach from Hurghada. The boat ride is around 60 to 75 minutes from the marina, and the island has been built up with a real plan: a wooden seafront boardwalk along the shore, an island swimming pool, a buffet restaurant under shade, sunbeds with towel service, and clean changing facilities.

What sets Ozirea apart from the other Giftun islands

Orange Bay is a wild sandbar. Hula Hula is the small, quiet end of the archipelago. Mahmya is the older, busier classic. Ozirea is the newcomer: a Giftun island that opened with a finished, resort-style setup. The same crystal-clear water, but with amenities you would expect from a five-star beach club.

The island pool and seafront boardwalk

Ozirea has a swimming pool on the island and a wooden boardwalk that runs along the shore with open views across the Red Sea. Swim, cool off, stroll between dips, take photos and watch the sea. Lockable lockers and clean changing rooms are a few steps from the water.

The buffet on the island

Lunch on Ozirea is an open buffet served at the island restaurant, not a packed lunch on the boat: grilled fish, grilled chicken, rice, salads, freshly baked bread, fresh fruit, mineral water and soft drinks. Alcoholic drinks are available at the island bar (paid in cash).

The snorkel stop

On the way to Ozirea the boat anchors for around 45 minutes at a sheltered Giftun reef. The reef suits first-time snorkelers and a marine guide is in the water with the group. Mask, snorkel, fins and life vest are included.

Two ways to visit Ozirea

We run two day trips to Ozirea so you can pick the experience that fits:

• Ozirea Classic — the standard full-day island trip with a guided snorkel stop, open-buffet lunch and free round-trip hotel transfer. From EUR 35 per adult.
• Ozirea Full Day — the premium package that adds breakfast on the boat, pool access on the island, and a drink plus a bottle of water. From EUR 45 per adult.

The day flow

Hotel pickup around 08:00, the boat leaves Hurghada Marina at 09:00, a snorkel stop on the way, around three to four hours on Ozirea (pool, boardwalk, beach, buffet, photos), then the return crossing brings you back to your hotel by around 17:00. Free round-trip hotel transfer is included.
