El Gouna

Located 40 km from Hurghada airport, the town is called the Egyptian Venice - its territory is indented by a network of canals along whith running boats and yachts. The luxurious resort was built from scratch in the 90s of the last century with the money of the Egyptian billionaire Sami Sawiris, with the participation of world-class architects. El Gouna was built with special attention to the environment and to this day is considered one of the most environmentally friendly resorts in Egypt.
There are no tall buildings in here - most hotels are villa complexes of 2-3 floors located on separate islands. It is important to remember that only a few hotels in El Gouna have access to the open sea, but mostly hotels are located along the shores of lagoons and canals. The lovers of sea bathing need to get to the beach by boat (payment depends on the specific hotel). The sea here is shallow - sandbanks reach 600 m in length. You can swim directly in the canals - but not in all hotels and only in specially equipped areas.
The resort is designed for a quiet relaxing holiday for respectable tourists - there are no noisy discos here. The bulk of entertainment - shopping centers, restaurants, bars - are located on the island of El Kafr, where a free shuttle runs from the hotels. The resort has a golf club, several tennis courts, a karting center, a cinema, an aquarium, and a kitesurfing base. In addition, El Gouna boasts its own small airport, radio station and brewery.
