What Makes Amwaj Island Special

Amwaj Island is famous for the turquoise lagoon running along the shore, soft snow-white sand and the feeling of a premium resort holiday. The beach area is well equipped: sun loungers, shade canopies and stylish photo spots, including swings in the water — it is easy to take beautiful photos here and simply relax by the sea.

The program also includes a stop at sea for snorkeling by coral reefs, where you can observe the Red Sea's rich underwater life.

Important Information

• Important: don't go up to the upper deck while wet. Dry yourself off with a towel first. This is a safety requirement to prevent slipping on the stairs.
• The yacht capacity is from 20 to 40 people. The yachts are spacious and there is room for everyone, but the capacity is limited by the tourist police.
• For a separate boat trip with your own group you can choose a glass-bottom boat for $90. This is an independent program, not a private excursion to Amwaj.

What to bring

• A photo of your passport on your phone.
• A towel and swimwear.
• Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat.
• A power bank for charging your phone.
• Your own mask and snorkel if you'd like to use your own gear. They're also available on the yacht.
• Warm clothing in winter, as it can be windy at sea.
