The tables of El Gouna marina

Italian, Lebanese, Japanese, fish: the Red Sea's most international promenade.

€€€ High end

Along the Abu Tig pontoons, some thirty restaurants follow one another, all open to the water. Prices are those of an international resort and quality generally follows, which is not the case everywhere on the coast.

The extra bit

Walk the pontoons before choosing: menus are posted and price gaps are real.

Know before you go

El Gouna is twenty kilometres from Hurghada: plan the way back, taxis thin out after midnight.

    Our favourite

    The harbour promenade: yachts on one side, terraces on the other, and the whole town out after dark.

    Unmissable

    The turquoise water over white sand that earned the place its nickname: the Egyptian Maldives.
