El Gouna
A year-round integrated Red Sea town established in 1989
Life at El Gouna
In El Gouna, the sea can become part of everyday life: a quiet morning beside the lagoon, lunch near a marina and a home you return to throughout the year. Orascom began developing the town north of Hurghada in 1989, bringing homes, hospitality and daily services together on the Red Sea.
The town extends over 36.9 km², with more than 40 neighbourhoods and a 12 km shoreline. Around 25,000 residents from more than 50 nationalities bring a varied, international character to its dining, activities and daily life.
Tuban places you near the heart of town; North Bay opens toward the water; Ancient Hill and The Nines relate to golf and open landscapes. Kamaran adds chalets and townhouses. Choose the setting you enjoy first, then explore the homes within it.
Abu Tig, Fanadir and Abydos marinas, two golf courses and more than 100 dining venues sit alongside healthcare, education and workspaces. Tell us whether you want a permanent address or a place for regular holidays so we can suggest neighbourhoods to explore.
