Holidays in El Gouna feature 6 whole miles of beaches that are perfect for sitting back and relaxing on. Whether you want to just sit back on the golden sands and catch some sunshine or you’d prefer to dip your feet in the warm, clear waters of the Red Sea there’s something for everyone on the El Gouna Beaches

There are some truly breathtaking lagoons here that make for incredible dive spots and are also great for snorkelling for those without scuba experience.

Back at the beach and there are a range of above water watersports available, such as jet skiing, kite surfing and kayaking.

El Gouna is a fantastic choice for your first holiday to Egypt as the resort is close enough to a lot of classic Egyptian sites of interest. Why not take a day trip to the St Catherine Monastery in the Sinai Mountains? Or the Monasteries of St Paul or St Anthony, both of which are only a few hours from the resort.

If you don’t mind travelling further, then why not consider an overnight stop in either Luxor or Cairo, the main cultural cities of Egypt? Visit the Valley of the Kings in Luxor or the Great Pyramid of Giza in Cairo to truly get the most out of your holiday to El Gouna.
