El Gouna Red Sea Hurghada Egypt
El Gouna is a modern resort town on Egypt’s Red Sea, near Hurghada. It’s built along the shore and on small islands, and is known for its lagoons, coral reefs and sandy beaches. Among these is long, wide Mangroovy Beach, popular with kitesurfers. Lively Abu Tig Marina is lined with restaurants and bars. In the downtown area, Tamr Henna Square has palm trees, shops and cafes with outside seating.
Diving in El Gouna
At El Gouna divers can enjoy world-class diving locations, in secluded coral gardens teeming with life and colors. All are reachable in between half to two hours of cruising on the comfortable diving boats. Some of them are among the most famous dive sites of the Red Sea Riviera in Egypt:
The ship graveyard of Abu Nuhas (at only an hour away by boat), a fascinating step into history with four interesting wrecks: from the romantic Carnatic, a 19th-century ship, to the impressive Chrisoula K, all of them teeming with underwater life.
Dolphin House, in Sha’ab el Erg, a big aquarium where everything can happen – even to dive for an hour with 25 dolphins!
The legendary tekkies' paradise of the SS Rosalie Muller, another historical wreck untouched due to its remoteness.
Sha’ab Ruhr Umm Gamar, with its plummeting drop off and wealth of pelagics, a definitive “must” for the experienced diver.
