El Gouna Private Half Day City tour and Lagoon cruise

Overview

See the best of El Gouna, the Red Sea's stylish lagoon town, on this private half-day tour from Hurghada by land and water. After hotel pickup and a short scenic drive up the coast, you'll begin on the water with a gentle felucca cruise through El Gouna's interlocking lagoons, gliding past palm-lined shores, waterfront villas and moored yachts. Back on land, your private guide takes you to a panoramic viewpoint over the town before a stroll around the lively Abu Tig Marina, where yachts line the quays and cafés spill onto the squares. There's free time to browse the shops for souvenirs, then a stop at El Gouna's landmark tower for sweeping views over the golf courses, hotels and the desert-meets-sea landscape. A relaxed drive returns you to your Hurghada hotel. Because it's private, the pace is yours — a laid-back, half-day introduction to a resort town that feels a world away from the bigger Red Sea strips.

Eslam did a phenomenal job exploring and showing me everything El Gouna had to offer! My favorite part was the boat ride around the El Gouna marina.

Die Tour war nicht so wie beschrieben. Wir wurden am Hotel in einem PKW abgeholt, was sehr angenehm war, da nur wir zwei und der Fahrer drinnen saßen. Wir holten unseren Guide ab und fuhren nach El Gouna. Dort angekommen sind wir mit dem Boot ca ne Stunde durch die Kanäle der Stadt gefahren. Vorteil war wieder, dass sich auf dem Boot nur der Kapitän, der Guide und wir uns befanden. Nach der Bootsfahrt ging es direkt zurück nach Hurgharda in einen Laden, wo man allen Ramsch kaufen konnte den man will. Direkt gegenüber, wurde uns gesagt, befindet sich das Papyrus Museum, was sich als Verkaufssho

Ein absolutes Must-do! Alles war perfekt, das Preisleistungs-Verhältnis unschlagbar. Unsere Erwartungen wurden für diesen Preis sogar übertroffen. Unser Reiseführer Kareem und unser Fahrer Tayfun waren supernett und haben den Ausflug noch angenehmer gemacht, indem sie uns mit ihrer tollen Art die Stadt gezeigt haben.
