  Dear Community Members,  We are writing to you today in regard to the emails several concerned members had sent to Security and Community Care about a surge in thefts in El Gouna. The Security Department has significantly intensified efforts and we are happy to report that they were successful in identifying/neut ralizing two thieves who confessed to many cases that were previously reported, (one living in Hurghada was arrested thanks to information that Security relayed to Hurghada Police). The stolen goods that were found in their caches were restituted to their rightful owners.  Although El Gouna has low theft rate, El Gouna Management has no tolerance in that respect and will spare no action to keep it as near to zero as possible. As such, and in an effort to increase further security, Town is expediting the installation of CCTV cameras all over El Gouna.  You, as members, are at the forefront in this fight against theft. We recommend that you ensure all doors ...

Dear Valued Community Members,  Hope this email finds you well. In the light of several recent incidents involving minors driving different kinds of vehicles inside El Gouna, this is to bring to your attention our stance regarding the matter. We hereby urge all responsible parents not to allow their children below legal age from driving on any of El Gouna roads no matter how quiet/unfrequented they may seem. Some designated places – off road or inside circuits – can accommodate underage drivers supervised by their parents. It is our firm belief that one accident is too many and will take action in that respect. As a start, we have instructed our security staff at the internal gates not to let minors through and inform the Security Office accordingly. More actions will follow. El Gouna Management hopes everyone understands that the upcoming tough measures are intended to save lives, starting with the young boys and girls own lives, and trust that the Community will assist in having ...

24th - 26th SEPTEMBER, 2021 PROF. DR. HOSSAM EL BOROMBALY **SMART GREEN MAINTENANCE  - INNOVATION OF THE CURRENT ERA** Then and now, architecture represents the mediation of culture - a struggle between the past and the new to reach the norm of the era.  Today, architects are beginning to look forward to using the developments of technology which seem to be intelligent as smart materials to bring solutions to longstanding problems. There is a wide variety with great potential for use in architecture and, moreover, dramatically reduce the energy and material cost of the buildings, enabling the human to design direct and discrete environments that provide better conditions. But to what extent could the intelligence support the heritage places specially while integrating the new with the old?  Smart green maintenance is free from using what is harmful to the environment, a desirable method based on high technology to improve the preservation of existing heritage buildings an...

We all love our pets as if they’re our own child, they become a fundamental part of your family. They take care of you as much as you take care of them. But leaving your pet can be stressful on both you and them. You feel guilty for leaving them alone, you worry if they’ve eaten enough or too much, hungry or thirsty, bored or lonely. As much stress as it causes you, it’s not good for them either.The majority of house pets are cats or dogs, and while dogs require more attention, cats don’t like being left alone either. Until we invent some sort of video calling device between pets and humans where we can know for sure how they’re doing, we need to consider the best care options for our fur-babies. Thankfully, there has been a considerable improvement in animal care and welfare in Egypt over the last few years. You have shelters, pet hotels, cat palaces and dog parks all trying to do their best for our animals. And while those may be good options for caring for your pet, they don’t alway...

  From CairoScene  https://cairoscene.com/ 24km off the coast of Egypt’s El Gouna, the fabled and once deserted Red Sea island of Tawila is getting the type of luxury resort that would make the Maldives jealous... Some said you’d slip off the edge of the sea before reaching it. Others dismissed its very existence as a folk tale. But the achingly beautiful and once-untouched Tawila Island is getting its first luxury boutique resort. And nope, this is not a drill.  Resting in the Red Sea about 24km from the coast of the El Gouna community, Tawila Island has been a spot that you could only previously reach by sailing on that rich friend’s dad’s second-cousin’s yacht. Once completely deserted, its stunning pure white sandy beaches and shallow, almost glass-like crystal clear waters (for as far as the eye can see and as far as the feet can walk), make it one of those places that legit belong on a screensaver. And now, architectural firm JT+Partners is developing a stunning new...

by Walter Cuypers, Belgian resident of Hurghada On Saturday July 31, 2021 the "Health Bureau Hurghada" opened a new office to convert your Vaccine Follow-up Card into a COVID-19 VACCINE CERTIFICATE with a digital QR code.   The office is staffed with 6 health workers, all dedicated to get you a QR code within less than an hour.
