A self-contained town on the beautiful Red Sea coast, El Gouna offers an unrivalled lifestyle. Built on 10 km of beach, the town of over 20,000 residents spreads across islands and lagoons. Boasting a superb infrastructure and excellent services, the destination is a short flight from Europe.

This privately owned and operated vacation resort offers sandy beaches and the ideal temperatures to welcome visitors to an all-inclusive holiday year round.

There are a number of dive sites within range of El Gouna by day or by liveaboard. Dolphins frequently inhabit this area of the Red Sea and can often be sighted above and below the water. Abu Nuhas reef is famous for being Egypt’s “ship graveyard” and is home to the impressive SS Thistlegorm which was sunk by German bomber planes during World War Two. Divers will also enjoy an explosion of colourful Red Sea reefs with beautiful hard and soft corals, reef fauna and schools of tropical fish species. Although dive operators in Egypt can sometimes be sketchy, diving out of El Gouna ensures that you will travel with top professionals in a safety conscious environment.
