Your guide to El Gouna holidays

Top attractions
There are many things to do in El Gouna, especially if you’re a lover of sand and water. This resort town is one of the primary diving and snorkelling destinations in the whole of Egypt, boasting impressive shipwrecks, beautiful coral formations and colourful underwater life. The majority of El Gouna’s attractions can be found in and around the Red Sea, though there are plenty of places around the town where you’ll find the opportunity to relax and be pampered, with many great spas allowing you ample time to recharge your batteries. Aside from the water sports there are countless outdoor pursuits and attractions to keep you occupied during your visit to the town, families, couples and solo travellers will find themselves occupied for their entire trip. For a little more culture and history, consider taking a trip to the fascinating city of Aswan. Aswan is home to bustling souks and boasting countless ancient tombs so you can experience some ancient history as well as modern local life and the spectacular river Nile runs through the city.

Beaches
No trip to El Gouna would be complete without taking advantage of the beautiful beaches and the stunning Red Sea around it. Taking at least a couple of days out from activities and exploration to chill and sunbathe in the sand is essential, and in El Gouna you’ll be in the best possible place to do just that. If you want to have some fun by the sea and get some exercise, you can try kitesurfing, which is a cross between paragliding and surfing. A little further out into the sea, you can try sailing and get some panoramic views of the beach, and further out still you can even swim with dolphins in their natural habitat. With its perfect clear waters, the El Gouna coast is the perfect place to go diving and snorkelling to see some of the world famous coral reefs with sealife.
