El Gouna City Tour and Lagoon Trip
Glide through the canals of the Red Sea Riviera and discover Egypt's most distinctive resort town.
The El Gouna city tour takes you through a purpose-built coastal town shaped by interconnected lagoons, whitewashed architecture, and a marina that draws visitors from across Egypt and beyond. This half-day excursion combines a scenic boat ride, a guided town walk, and a sit-down traditional Egyptian lunch into a single, well-paced outing.
El Gouna was developed from the ground up on the Red Sea coast north of Hurghada, and its layout around a series of natural and artificial lagoons has earned it comparisons to Venice. The result is a town where water is always within sight, bridges connect residential islands, and the pace of life feels deliberately unhurried.
The tour moves efficiently through the town's main points of interest without feeling rushed, making it well-suited for travelers who want a structured introduction to El Gouna rather than an open-ended exploration on their own.
Tour Highlights
Panoramic views of El Gouna from the town's dedicated viewing tower platform.
A one-hour lagoon boat trip through the canals passing villas, hotels, and bridges.

A guided walk through Downtown El Gouna and its local market street.
A traditional Egyptian lunch featuring ful, freshly fried falafel, baladi bread, and a soft drink.
Dedicated free time for photography across El Gouna's most scenic spots.
Itinerary
Pickup from your Hurghada hotel and a comfortable drive north along the Red Sea coast to El Gouna. The journey sets the scene with views of the coastline before arrival at the town.
Your first stop is the elevated viewing platform that gives a broad overview of El Gouna's layout, including its golf courses, lagoons, and the network of canals threading through the town.
Board a boat for a one-hour cruise through El Gouna's lagoon system. The route passes private villa islands, resort hotels, and the distinctive arched bridges that define the town's character.
Explore Abu Tig Marina on foot, where sailing yachts line the docks and open-air restaurants face the water. The guided walk continues into Downtown El Gouna for a look at local shops and the town square.
Sit down at a local El Gouna restaurant for a traditional Egyptian lunch of ful medames, freshly fried falafel, baladi bread, and a soft drink. This is a chance to experience everyday Egyptian food in a relaxed setting.
After lunch and any remaining free time for photos, the group boards the vehicle for the return drive to Hurghada hotels.
