What Travellers Say

"Elegant and wonderful ✨️ place"

"El Gouna is definitely a beautiful place, specially the marina"
Fabricia Hamad
"I went to this place once and I swear, I will never go again. There are two types of quiet, one is peacefully quiet and the other is miserably quiet. Well this place was miserably quiet. There was just a weird vibe. There are only a limited number of resurants and bars. Theres very little to do at this place and the boats aren't anywhere near to as good as the ones in Hurghada marina. The El Gouna marina is also very small as compared to Hurghada Marina. Not to mention, the prices are sky high and theres no good to those prices. The locals from the area generally make up the crowd here (small crowd), apart from them you'd hardly see any tourists.
There's a lot more to do at Hurghada Marina compared to El Gouna. The only good thing about El Gouna is that is a bit more cleaner than Hurghada city.
In a nutshell, This place and the whole area of El Gouna is very overrated than it deserves to be. Don't waste your time and money!"
