Hurghada is a resort town on the Red Sea Coast of Egypt. A former small and unimposing fishing village, today, the resort of Hurghada is almost unrecognizable from its past life and has grown to become the most visited tourist destination in the whole of Egypt, with more than 100 different hotels, many of which line the shoreline. Famous for its superb diving opportunities, Hurghada is especially appealing to those with little experience of scuba diving, who come to marvel at the underwater reefs and awesome marine life. The main reason to visit Hurghada is the Red Sea, which is excellent for diving or snorkeling. See incredible coral reefs and hundreds of varieties of tropical fish just 10 m from the beach. Hurghada offers many activities not to be found anywhere else on Earth: quad-biking hundreds of miles into the Sahara desert for tea with a Bedoin tribe, then camel-riding across Biblical plains to see remote and ancient wonders; diving and snorkeling around a vibrant and colorful coral reef; boat trips to the unpopulated Big and Little Gifton islands; swimming in the warm sea; good shopping; excellent and varied cuisine from across the world, etc. If you were to choose to stay in your hotel complex for the duration of your break, you would miss out on much more than you bargained for.

El Gouna Golf Club

El Gouna Golf Club – Desert golf with sea views and real playing value El Gouna Golf Club is exactly the kind of course you look for in winter: plenty of sunshine, well-maintained fairways, lots of space from the tee and yet enough challenge to keep it interesting. Located directly on the lagoons of El Gouna, this golf course combines relaxed resort golf with tactical challenges that are not found everywhere in Egypt. It becomes clear from the very first holes that this is not about brute force, but about clean course management. The course is forgiving if you play smart – but punishes anyone who underestimates the water hazards or the wind. Course design & playing experience The 18-hole course (par 72) is spacious and visually open, but the many lagoons and strategically placed bunkers make it much more challenging than it appears at first glance. Especially when the wind blows – and it regularly does here from the Red Sea – the character of the course changes completely. Typical of El Gouna Golf Club: Wide tees that inspire confidence Water brought into play at crucial points, not arbitrarily Long par-4 holes where the second shot counts Par-5 holes with risk-reward options Greens that are cleanly defended but not unfair The course is pleasantly flat, which makes it very suitable for longer golf holidays or several rounds in a row. Nevertheless, it never becomes monotonous, as almost every hole has its own character. Wind, water and strategy What makes El Gouna Golf Club really exciting is the combination of wind and water. Depending on the time of day, the same shot can produce completely different results. Those who can control the flight of the ball and know when an iron is the better choice off the tee will score significantly better here. The back nine in particular require concentration. Several holes run along the lagoons, and those who play too aggressively will find themselves in the water faster than they would like. At the same time, the course rewards bold, well-planned shots with real birdie opportunities. Training facilities & clubhouse El Gouna Golf Club is also very well equipped away from the course: Spacious driving range with a special setting over water Separate areas for short game and bunker shots Solid pro shop with everything you need for a golf holiday Modern carts and well-organised game operation After your round, the clubhouse invites you to relax and unwind. The view over the course, a cool drink and the relaxed atmosphere are the perfect way to end a day of golf under the Egyptian sun. Who is El Gouna Golf Club ideal for? Leisure golfers who want to play in a relaxed manner on holiday Ambitious players who like wind and strategy Winter golfers looking for reliable conditions Golf groups planning several rounds without stress Whether you are a single-handicapper or a recreational golfer, the course works for both because it remains fair yet challenging. Conclusion from a golfer’s perspective El Gouna Golf Club is not a show course that relies solely on its appearance – it is an honest, well-maintained golf course with depth of play. Anyone who likes sun, water, wind and tactical golf will really enjoy themselves here. Especially in winter, El Gouna is an extremely strong alternative to southern Europe – with significantly better weather and a more relaxed atmosphere.
