El Gouna Holidays - Red Sea paradise and golfing haven
The genteel resort town of El Gouna is set along 10km of sun drenched shoreline, incorporating islands, lagoons and sympathetically designed luxury hotels, gardens and golfing greens. El Gouna is 20 km north of the bustling resort centre of Hurghada and appeals to holiday visitors seeking peace and quiet, rather than busy restaurants, shops and bars. Here on the North Sinai coast of Egypt, backed by desert and fronted by turquoise water, you’ll find a sun worshipper’s paradise, but with no shortage of sports activities, and sightseeing opportunities on the doorstep.
Holidays in El Gouna - learn to scuba dive in great surroundings or visit Cairo
A big pull to El Gouna is of course its position on the warm, life-rich waters of the Red Sea, and many visitors snorkel, scuba dive or take boat trips to fully appreciate the fish, coral and superb coastal scenery of the area. It’s an ideal place to learn to scuba dive, but for experienced divers, boat trips out to larger reefs or one of the many wrecks can be booked through the hotels. Red Sea diving is one of the most popular reasons why people visit Egypt along with the abundance of history and ancient archeology. Golf is also a popular pastime at El Gouna, and the large hotels have top quality gyms, health spas, tennis courts and pools. For a taste of Egypt’s culture and history, you can take trips to Cairo, Luxor or Aswan to admire the Pyramids, ancient Egyptian tombs and fabulous temples. From El Gouna Nile cruises are a popular option, or perhaps a day shopping and dining out in nearby Hurghada will appeal to you and your family.
El Gouna Holidays - outstanding accommodation on offer
The leading luxury hotels at El Gouna are positioned directly by the sea, surrounded by lagoons and luscious gardens. Some have been designed by top architects to ensure they blend seamlessly with the local environment and most offer a choice of on-site restaurants and provide evening entertainment. There are also a handful of smaller boutique hotels in the town. El Gouna is 30 km from Hurghada International Airport. Egypt has a mild winter from November to April and a hot summer from May to October. In the coastal regions, temperatures range between an average minimum of 14° C in winter and an average maximum of 30° C in summer.
