Given El Gouna's matchless blend of breathtaking natural beauty, year-round sunshine, exciting and diverse sport and outdoor opportunities, award-winning architecture and interior design, eclectic dining and shopping, as well as the town's proximity to the historical treasures of the world's greatest civilizations, its popularity is no surprise.
Started as a self-sustaining town by the Sawiris family back in the mid-1980s, El-Gouna has blossomed from a barren desert with one hotel (The Sonesta Paradisio, now Club Med) and a smattering of villas belonging to the Sawirises and their close friends, into an elite, internationally-renowned resort. The Sawiris stamp of quality assurance is indelible on everything from the elegant architecture to the laid-back yet sophisticated lifestyle.
During the past decade El Gouna has developed into a self-sufficient resort with complete infrastructure, facilities and services.
Today El Gouna is home to 14 spectacular hotels built along 10 kilometers of beachfront and spreads across islands interlinked by lagoons. Neighborhoods of attractive villas and apartments bustle with the activity of entrepreneurs, artists, environmentalists, sports enthusiasts and other individuals and families from all over the world.
All services for your every need are available. A state-of-the-art hospital provides comprehensive services including the area's most advanced. Full service banks, ATM machines, public phones, a post office, travel agencies, car, and boat rental centres, shuttle buses, taxi and limousine service are all waiting to serve you.
The most striking thing about El-Gouna is the attention its developers have paid to detail.
