Package holiday to El Gouna

El Gouna is Egypt's answer to the Maldives – a luxurious lagoon resort town on the Red Sea, entirely designed from scratch, distinguished by its artificial islands, canals, and turquoise lagoons, setting it apart from anything else found in Egypt. Located about 22 kilometers north of Hurghada, El Gouna is a self-contained world: clean, safe, international, and with an infrastructure that meets European standards. For German travelers who want to enjoy Egypt's sun and underwater world without sacrificing comfort and style, El Gouna is the perfect destination.

The architecture of El Gouna was developed by Egyptian billionaire Samih Sawiris, combining traditional Nubian construction with modern design. Hotels, villas, and apartments are grouped around lagoons and canals, connected by boat, tuk-tuk, or bicycle. There is no mass tourism or large hotel complexes – instead, boutique hotels, its own airport, a golf course, a marina, and even a branch of the Technical University of Berlin.

El Gouna has established itself as an international kitesurfing mecca. The shallow lagoon with constant wind offers ideal conditions for beginners and professionals alike. At the same time, some of the best diving and snorkeling spots in the Red Sea are right at the doorstep – the offshore reefs can be reached in 15 minutes by boat and host a spectacular underwater world with coral gardens, turtles, and colorful fish schools. Hurghada Airport is only 30 minutes away, and there are direct flights from Germany year-round. The climate allows for beach holidays from January to December, with winter months pleasantly warm at 22-25 degrees.

El Gouna particularly impresses with stunning beaches, first-class relaxation options. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
