“With amazing wind and great accommodation, El Gouna, for me, is the best value for money holiday in Egypt “
Our specialist, Julius | email Julius

Located 22 kilometres north of Hurghada and just 30 minutes from Hurghada Airport, El Gouna is a purpose-built private resort community complete with its own school, hospital and library. It is a great place for a good-value, hassle-free holiday with some of the best kitesurfing anywhere.

Hotels and villas have been built overlooking inland lagoons and waterways, some with direct access to the beach. There is a small area of shops known as Downtown and a number of bars and restaurants in an attractive development clustered around Abu Tig marina. We recommend either staying directly on the beach, or in the marina.

To the north of the resort, 5 minutes by tuk-tuk or resort bus, is Mangroovy beach, home to one of the largest areas of kitesurfing beaches in Egypt. This huge expanse of beach is home to three separate kitesurfing centres, each with a slightly different set-up – click here for more details on the kitesurfing.
