Tour programs vary, and you can see their descriptions below.
El Gouna
El Gouna is a unique resort located on the Red Sea coast, 22 kilometers north of Hurghada. It is often called the “Venice of Egypt” — and for good reason: the resort is spread across numerous islands connected by lagoons. This creates an incredible atmosphere, where water surrounds you everywhere and waterways replace the streets.
Architecture
The architecture of El Gouna is a blend of traditional Arabic style and modern comfort. The buildings are low-rise, painted in warm sandy tones, with domes and arches that create a cozy and fairytale-like atmosphere.
Canals
Instead of roads, there are crystal-clear canals. You can move along them on small boats called “taxi boats,” while enjoying the beauty of the villas and gardens.
Islands
Every villa, every hotel is its own little island. This gives the resort a special charm and a sense of seclusion.
Romantic Escape
El Gouna is the perfect destination for those seeking peace and romance. In the evening, when the lights come on, the resort transforms. A yacht trip under the starry sky, dinner at a lagoon-side restaurant — all of this creates an unforgettable atmosphere that makes you fall in love with this place at first sight.
