It is only worth mentioning a beach holiday, immediately a picture of Egypt pops into your head. Sun, sand, Red Sea, many different hotels, coral reefs and so on. As a rule, no one thinks and perceives all resorts as one, without special differences and by standards all inclusive.
Here it is worth pausing and thinking. Do we all know about a typical Egypt, or are all resorts so similar? Most of the most popular places have common features, but one can stand out from all of them. Absolutely not typical for the local desert area. Unlike others in many ways. Of course, this is El Guna, with its inimitability and uniqueness. Beautiful photos of the resort will not leave anyone indifferent. Just look at the map from above, some photos and you will immediately want to go on a vacation.
The resort of El Gouna does not belong to ancient cities, but on the contrary, it is a completely new, artificially created corner of paradise. One of the Egyptian oligarchs. He decided to create something unique and beautiful, a corner of paradise on his land. A wonderful place was found not far away, thirty kilometers from the resort of Hurghada. According to his idea, rest here was supposed to be unique, but in turn similar to Italian Venice, only greener and cleaner and called El Gouna on the map of Egypt. Before the start of construction works, it was a completely uninhabited desert place, surrounded by clean lagoons with clear water of the Red Sea between sand shoals. The idea was very grandiose, demanding costs and time. American architect Michael Grive, who at one time worked on the Disneyland project in Florida, was involved to implement the millionaire's ideas. El Gouna resort combines bright features of modern architecture and ancient Egyptian Muslim motifs.
Later, a wonderful archipelago of islands arose in the place of the desert, which in turn began to rapidly develop and be built up. Everything was carried out in accordance with a strict project, without particularly massive construction. The buildings were made in warm colors, in the style of small towers with domes. Of course, there are many good 4-5 star hotels of local and foreign hoteliers who are still selling tours to El Gouna at very low prices. Gradually, boats started plying between the islands and bridges were built for land traffic. The Egyptian Venice of El Gouna later began to bring dividends to its owner. Wealthy tourists from all over the world began to arrive in search of peace and quiet on the shores of the Red Sea. Secluded places are perfectly combined with the opportunity to sunbathe and shop away from the hustle and bustle. Of course, all the most comfortable conditions were created, where you can not only relax peacefully, but also actively have fun.
In addition to all their entertainment, the resort has built the largest golf club on the Red Sea coast, with about 18 holes, for the wealthy guests of vacationers. All conditions for both beginners and professionals of this sport. Some can teach others to offer decent service and playing conditions. Diving in the Red Sea is very popular and exciting. It is clear how a prestigious resort can do without it. Everyone can immediately go diving or first go through an introduction and introductory course in a calm environment, in a large aquarium. This is followed by amazing encounters with underwater inhabitants near the coral islands. A variety of fish, all kinds of coral inhabitants, cuttlefish with crabs - this will certainly not always surprise experienced guests. Therefore, there is something more interesting on vacation in El Gouna, like sunken ships, maybe even with treasures on board. Which could theoretically be left as a legacy from the pirates, but more likely was specially prepared for tourists who come for a holiday permit to El Gouna. Of course, the real treasure could have been found on land for a long time, but in this case, staying at the bottom, such a raisin brings more profit. Excellent photos are obtained in El Gun, both on land and under water.
The list of entertainment does not end there, there are enough excursions in El Gouna. Next to the huge Sahara desert and vast expanses of sand, of course, it is fashionable to organize active recreation here as well, which is what the locals do. Exciting trips on quad bikes, jeeps or even on horses and camels through the desert - will add spice to an ordinary vacation at the peaceful resort of El Gouna in Egypt.
