About El Gouna
The thriving town of El Gouna was born 30 years ago when entrepreneur Samih Sawiris turned a swathe of desert into a seaside oasis for his family and friends.

El Gouna is ideally situated only 22km away from Hurghada International airport, bordering a beautiful 10km stretch of beach and straddling a series of 20 islands surrounded by picturesque lagoons and criss-crossed by arched, cobbled bridges
Famed for its water sports, there are nine PADI certified dive-centres with access to some of the best sites in the Red Sea.
