Picture a town built around blue lagoons and small islands, with Nubian-style houses, sandy beaches and plenty of water sports. That is El Gouna, a resort on Egypt's Red Sea coast about 20 km north of Hurghada. Its name means 'the lagoon' in Egyptian Arabic. Whether your hotel is Downtown, near Tamr Henna Square or close to Abu Tig Marina, Egypt Gate takes you from there to the reefs, the desert and the temples of ancient Egypt.
Here is how a day with us works. Our driver collects you at your El Gouna hotel. For boat trips, we head south to the marina in Hurghada, where most of our boats sail. The Nefertari, the Panorama semi-submarine and Makadi Water World are further south in Makadi Bay, and the hammams, Dolphin World, the Grand Aquarium and the city tour are in Hurghada. Cairo trips by plane start with a ride to Hurghada International Airport, about 25 km away.
Most guests book at least one island day. Orange Bay is famous for its white sand and lagoon. Mahmya and Eden serve lunch on the island, while Paradise, Bianca and Hula Hula give you time on the beach. Most trips stop twice at coral reefs to snorkel, and Orange Bay with Magawish shows you two islands at once. Dolphin House offers a good chance of wild dolphins, and private speed boats or a first dive are there if you want more.
When you want a break from the sea, head inland. Quad bikes, dune buggies and 4x4 Jeeps cross the desert near Hurghada to a Bedouin village with camels and tea, and evening safaris add a BBQ dinner, an Oriental show and stars seen through a telescope. For families there is Makadi Water World with more than 50 slides, the dolphin shows at Dolphin World, the Grand Aquarium, two semi-submarines and horse riding by the sea.
History is only a day trip away. In Luxor, an Egyptologist leads you through Karnak Temple, Hatshepsut Temple and the Valley of the Kings or the Valley of the Queens, and one trip starts with a sunrise balloon flight. In Cairo you see the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum or the Grand Egyptian Museum. Go by bus, in a mini group of up to 6 guests, by limousine or by plane, and sleep in El Gouna the same night.
Save one afternoon for yourself. A Turkish hammam in Hurghada brings a foam bath, a full body massage or the salt cave, with pickup from your El Gouna hotel. Egypt Gate is a local Red Sea team. Each tour page shows the real program, what is included and how pickup works, so there are no surprises. Book online, get your exact pickup time by WhatsApp or Telegram, and message us there if you need help planning your days.
