Ancient Sands Golf Resort and Residences El Gouna

The Ancient Sands Golf Resort and Residences in El Gouna is one of those places that golfers simply must experience. Almost everything here is perfect – from the design of the course and the flair of the resort to the perfect combination of golf, sun and sea.

As soon as you arrive, you notice that the resort is situated above the lagoon city of El Gouna and offers spectacular views of the Red Sea, the mountains and the golf course itself. This panorama accompanies you on almost every round – and ensures that you feel like you are playing in a postcard as soon as you tee off.
