Evenings at Abu Tig Marina
Yachts, restaurants on the water and the best evening atmosphere in El Gouna. From the marina beach you watch the sun go down. Book ahead at weekends.
Downtown and Tamr Henna Square
The old centre with domes, arches and small lanes. Around Tamr Henna Square you find cafés, shops and restaurants. Nicest in the late afternoon, when it cools down.
Kitesurfing at Mangroovy Beach

A day at Zeytouna Beach
A beach on an island that you reach by boat. Perfect for a quiet day of swimming and snorkelling.
