El-Gouna's Resort Life
El Gouna is a self-contained tourist town with a reputation for being Egypt's best-run resort. It is constructed around lagoons and waterways, offering lots of beaches and views of the water. It is the idea of Egyptian millionaire Onsi Sawiris.
El-Gouna is a modern resort town with a concentration on luxury resort living and vacation villa complexes. There's a golf course, two marinas, and a dozen high-end and mid-range hotels on the island, all of which are perfectly equipped to offer water activities and sun-soaked leisure. El-Gouna also has Egypt's only free outdoor cinema and the Culturama, which is linked to Alexandria's Bibliotheca Alexandrina and offers a multimedia exhibition of Egyptian history as well as online access to the library's large collection of ancient manuscripts. Smoking shisha is likely to be your sole local experience. However, if you're looking for a spot to relax on a beach and go diving, you'll have a great time here.
