Incredible beaches and sea views: a little-known resort in Egypt

This resort is famous for its golden sandy beaches.

The Red Sea has become famous for its winter resorts, such as Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada in Egypt. These destinations are usually a favorite for those who want to enjoy the warmth of the sun during the winter. However, Egypt also has a resort that is only 30 minutes away from Hurghada and is a luxurious autonomous town. This is reported by Express.

We are talking about the resort of El Gouna, which boasts many entertainment options and a wide selection of luxurious hotels.

The city has activities that are suitable for outdoor recreation. For example, the famous Mangrove Beach, which is one of the most popular places for kitesurfing.

“In addition to stunning golden sandy beaches, El Gouna is famous for its incredible coral reefs and sunken ships, such as the famous Shaab El Erg and Kerles Reef, which can be explored during snorkeling and diving excursions,” the article adds.

It takes no more than 20 minutes to get around the city. For those who want to learn more about the local traditions, experts recommend taking a tuk-tuk ride. This makes spontaneous stops much easier and more interesting.

“In terms of food and nightlife, the best places are Abu Tig Marina and the city center, where local shops and restaurants offer something for everyone. At dawn, these areas come to life, becoming a popular destination for visitors who want to sample a variety of cuisines, from the highest-rated African restaurant Bongoyo to Camino, a lively Latin American restaurant.

It is also possible to book a day trip to the city of Luxor, which starts with a desert trip. During the tour, you can see the most outstanding sights of the country, including the colossal Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings, an ancient royal burial from the New Kingdom of Egypt.

“During the overnight stay in Luxor, adventure seekers can enjoy a hot air balloon ride at dawn to see many ancient monuments, including the majestic mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, as well as the stark contrast between the lush cultivated fields along the Nile River and the surrounding desert and mountains,” the article concluded.
