Magawish Island

This guide to Magawish Island, a protected reserve off Hurghada, sets the postcard image of turquoise water and white sand against the plastic and fishing line that currents drag onto its shore. It follows the nursing students and local youth workers who began combing the beach back in 2018, marine-reserve director Ahmed Ghallab's warning about the coral and wildlife at risk, and the larger cleanup a record-holding diver organized here in December 2025.
