About this experience

Join us in our trip to know , How El Gouna evolved from desert to a town like no other ?

Simply . There was a man searching to find the most beautiful spot on the seaside to build a house and small boat jetty.

Almost 25 years ago or more, he finally found that beautiful spot, conveniently located just north of Hurghada on the west coast of the Red Sea.

It wasn’t long before his friends struck by the splendor of the azure waters and dramatic backdrop of mountains, asked to join him. The town slowly blossomed to be the vibrant community that it is today.

Therefore, Our local guide will lead you to visit the most important landmarks in El Gouna. Starting by the private airport, the large Coptic Christian church, downtown, lagoon boat trip, Abu Tig marina, Mangrove beach, and the fish farm. Travel in the comfort of a chauffeur driven air-conditioned car to visit the areas in comfort and safety.
