About El Gouna
El Gouna is one of the Red Sea’s most versatile golf bases. Ancient Sands Golf Club is the main course in the resort, featuring an 18-hole championship layout designed by Karl Litten, along with a par-3 course. The course is set across desert terrain with elevated views over the lagoons and Red Sea.
While El Gouna itself centres around one main golf complex, golfers can also access additional courses within a reasonable transfer, including those in Soma Bay and Makadi Bay. This makes it easy to combine different styles of golf within a single trip.
Hotels in El Gouna
El Gouna offers a broad range of accommodation, from boutique-style hotels to larger beachfront resorts.
Key options include Ancient Sands Resort, Steigenberger Golf Resort El Gouna, The Chedi El Gouna and Sheraton Miramar Resort El Gouna.
Hotels are spread across lagoons, beachfront areas and around the marina, giving guests a choice between quieter settings and more central, social locations. Board options vary from bed and breakfast to half board and all-inclusive.
Beyond the Golf
El Gouna stands out for its atmosphere. Unlike many Red Sea resorts, it feels like a small town, with a central marina offering a wide range of restaurants, bars and cafés.
There’s plenty to do away from the course, including beach clubs, watersports, snorkelling, diving and boat trips. Desert safaris and cultural excursions can also be arranged, while the overall layout makes it easy to explore different parts of the resort.
Location and Getting Around
El Gouna is approximately 30 minutes from Hurghada Airport, with straightforward transfers.
The resort is easy to navigate, with tuk-tuks and short taxi journeys providing quick access between hotels, the marina, beaches and the golf course.
