About El Gouna
El Gouna is a modern resort town on Egypt’s Red Sea, near Hurghada. It was founded in 1989 by Samih Sawiris and developed by Orascom Hotels and Development. It is built around lagoons and waterways, ensuring there are plenty of beaches and that many places have views of the water. Boasting 16 hotels, an 18-hole golf course, plenty of villas, entertainment, boutique shopping, and restaurants, it’s about as far removed from Egypt’s usual chaotic hustle as you can get.
El Gouna’s reputation and atmosphere provide a unique experience that cannot be found elsewhere. The town has distinguished itself as well-suited for local and international events and competitions, having held the El Gouna Film Festival, El Gouna International Squash Open, El Gouna Beach Polo, among others. El Gouna has also established itself as an environmentally-friendly town, with it being the first in Africa and the Arab Region to receive the Global Green Award in August 2014.
