Dear Community Members,  Further to the important events that took place on March 21st, 2022 where the exchange rate for the Egyptian Pound was significantly modified, El Gouna Management is still in the process of assessing the impact onto the upkeep of our beloved town. We are also on the lookout to see whether the government will announce soon a change in policy when it comes to the prices of oil derivatives as oil prices soar on the international market.  We consider this hyperinflation a serious challenge that affects all sides of life and consequently of course the way we charge for services rendered. However, we pledge that we will ignore the change should the study prove the impact on our operations can be weathered.  Regards, El Gouna Management

my 15 month stay in El Gouna hotels          by Hani Sombati an Egyptian expat In October of 2020 I was invited to El Gouna by a friend who wanted me to stay at his house for 3 days. I decided to prolong my stay by 5 more days. My 8-day trip turned into an unplanned 15 month stay. I fell in love with this magical place, El Gouna. I started to realize it was a combination of the elegance of the Riviera and the charm of Venice. The first hotel I stayed at was the Three Corners Rihana Hotel in Downtown El Gouna.  Rihana is a comfortable, clean hotel. The staff are very friendly and courteous. The beach is pleasant, sandy and easily accessible. They also provide you with a boat that takes you to Zeytouna Island and back. The food selection in their all-inclusive buffet is excellent for breakfast, average for lunch and dinner. As for the rooms, they are well kept and pretty spacious. I stayed there for 5 months and would have stayed more hadn’t it been for ...

El Gouna hosted the 9th Gezira El Gouna tennis open, this  year played on El Gouna’s renovated facilities at the Tennis Club. The renovations were aimed primarily at improving the clay surfaces from their previous poor condition.  Orascom contracted to bring in a specialized company to complete the work, which to everyone’s relief, was completed on time, days before the tournament.  Eight new clay courts with new nets were therefore added to El Gouna’s inventory. Moreover two hard courts are slated to be  built within the same enclosure. Unfortunately the white vinyl strips needed to delineate the lines of the court were being imported and did not arrive in time. White paint was used instead.  This year saw 84 players play as doubles teams in 4 days of competition. At the end of the event the organizers and sponsors presented cash prizes, medals and trophies to the players, court staff and ball boys and girls   On the last evening, a gala din...
