Gouna News was fortunate to have found Mr Pedro Barny, the incoming coach for the El Gouna Football Club, sitting at Seventh Star Cafe on the El Gouna marina, and was able to conduct an amiable chat with him.  Coach Pedro, who hails from Portugal, once played stopper for Sporting Lisboa FC, Belenenses and Boavista Football clubs. Now 53 years old he has accepted the position of head coach, training the El Gouna Football Club first team, located at El Bustan in El Gouna.    Pedro was offered this position in December 2019 after the departure of 47 year old coach Nebojsa Milosovic of Serbia.

For the first time, I took the Bus from El Gouna to Cairo. I rarely need to go to Cairo and for the few times I have, I have used Egyptair Express or accompanied friends who were going by car. This time I went by Go Bus and I must say it met my expectations. I had bought the ticket a few days earlier, at the Go Bus stop, downtown El Gouna, beside the Post Office. I chose the 10 am Elite Plus direct to Cairo. There are approximately 7 departures to Cairo. Each bus is a different class with different prices. The Elite Plus seemed to be the second best judging by the ticket price. I paid EGP 385 one way. Seat selection is done at reservation.  Since I was traveling alone, I chose the single seat side of the bus. Refunds are allowed after purchasing the ticket. Tickets can be purchased online as well (see website below) or call 19567.  VIEW FROM HALFWAY DOWN THE BUS The GoBus was there, on time, at 10am and departed 10:05. Heading north from t...
