El Gouna Tours
Take a Private Tour to El Gouna, the most luxurious and enjoyable Sauna, a Town in Egypt like no other.
El Gouna is a self-contained beautiful town that spreads across islands and lagoons
This desert paradise started from one man’s wish to find the most beautiful place beside the sea to build a house and jetty for a small boat.
It was only twenty-five years ago that this search ended when businessman Samih Sawiris found this location that was ideally situated on the west coast of the Red Sea and close to the city of Hurghada which has an airport.
Once friends and family came to visit, they did not want to leave and before, bit by bit, El Gouna grew into what it is today.
It is completely understandable how all this happened because when you visit this superb town, you will not want to leave. The shimmering, inviting azure waters and the backdrop of dramatic mountains, magnificent!
