About this site
Giftun Soraya lies among the Giftun Islands off Hurghada, in the Red Sea Governorate of Egypt, a cluster of reefs and islets reached by boat from the mainland coast. This part of the Red Sea is dotted with fringing reef systems around the islands, and dive boats from Hurghada regularly work this stretch of water.
