Hamata is 3 coral islands in the very south of Marsa Alam directly opposite the port of Hamata. You need to get 2 hours by minibus to the port, and then by sea on a yacht. It doesn't take long to sail on the sea. The islands are small, the coral sand is just snow-white and soft, like flour. They land on the first island, you can sunbathe and wander there. The island itself is nothing but sparse vegetation, but birds of prey nest there. If you come close to the nest, adult birds begin to get nervous and bravely drive away tourists.
