El Gouna is a young resort located between the Red Sea coast and the Etbay mountain range, just 20 km from Hurghada International Airport. The resort has a unique layout and has won international awards in architecture. Around each lagoon, there is its own area with, luxury houses, apartments, shops and developed infrastructure. The lagoons are interconnected by channels that originate from the coast of the Red Sea and go into the depths of the desert. The coastline, rich in coral reefs, is 10 km long.
Small islands, on which villas and houses are built, impress with a beautiful view of the lagoon with clear and transparent water. They are connected by wooden and stone bridges. That is why El Gouna is called Venice in the sands.
