El Gouna Holidays
Overview
El Gouna holidays transport you to another world - not merely the Egypt we all know and love, with camels, palms and antiquities strewn about the golden sands - but rather one of the country’s most beautifully maintained resorts, catering to everyone from families to divers and windsurfers.
El Gouna is unique among Egyptian resorts for it’s architecture and landscape, with canals running inland for miles and rows of gorgeous houses and hotels peppering the lush landscape. And all this is a few hours flight away, plus a half-hour drive from the airport!

Landscape
This gorgeous canal-connected paradise is home to distinctive architecture reminiscent of an Arabian Legoland, true to it’s origins as a planned resort. But there’s a genuine, warm feel to El Gouna, with it’s school of paradisiacal islands offshore, houses connected by bridges to little stretches of beach and separated by protruding palms - all this serves to make El Gouna holidays the most well-kept resort in Egypt. The blue immensity of the seascape here is best enjoyed by the yachts and schooners in the harbour, especially at sundown.
Things To Do on El Gouna Holidays
El Gouna literally means 'The Lagoon', so divers will have a great time here, navigating the seven miles of beach, out to the scores of uninhabited islands offshore. Windsurfing and golf are also chief among the pleasure available on El Gouna holidays.
The museum is as varied as the neighbouring landscape, showcasing not only the ancient artefacts of Egypt, but also modern art. For the itinerant, remember: you’re perfectly placed in this quiet spot to explore Luxor and Hurghada, home to some of ancient Egypt’s mightiest wonders.
Culture
Although El Gouna was a planned resort, there’s a real sense of community and family-friendly fun here as evidenced in the Friday Marina Festival on from March to November, with prizes, food stalls serving up local okri and marine cuisine, and belly dances. There’s also a great time to be had at the street festivals and markets that spring up weekly here, especially on Mondays.
Nightlife
El Gouna holidays are perfect for relaxing, either with a cocktail out on the darkening beachscape, downtown, or at the Abu Tig Marina. Whether on the beach or inland, you’ll be regaled at restaurants and watering-holes from pool bars to nightclubs such as at the Club Med hotel, but with a more comfortable feel than some of the larger nightclubs in major cities.
