Hotels near Orange Bay Beach
Giftun island, Egypt
Orange Bay occupies a separate stretch of Big Giftun Island from the main Giftun beaches and has been developed with sun loungers, beach bars, and a floating pontoon. The sand is blindingly white, the water is shallow for 50 metres out, and the overall vibe leans more beach club than nature reserve. It has become one of the most Instagrammed spots in all of Egypt's Red Sea region.
Day trip packages cost EUR 25-40 per person and include the boat transfer (about 30 minutes from Hurghada Marina), a sun lounger, and lunch. Drinks are extra. Snorkelling gear can be rented on the island for around EGP 100 (EUR 2). Boats depart between 09:00 and 10:00 and return by 16:00-17:00. Orange Bay gets busy from November to March, so arriving on an early boat secures the best lounger spots.
Pro Tip: Bring waterproof shoes. The pontoon walk to the beach bar can be slippery, and some entry points have rocky patches beneath the sand.
