South Gouna, by the Steigenberger

El Gouna Golf Club

The original championship 18 — lagoons in play on half the holes

El Gouna's founding course: a championship 18-hole layout threading the lagoons, with water in play constantly and desert mountains as the backdrop. Well-kept year-round, walkable in winter, buggy-mandatory in summer. Clubs and shoes rentable; handicap cards not obsessed over.

Best time

October–April mornings; summer golf means dawn tee times

Entry & fees

Green-fee rounds with buggy/club rental options — current rate card and tee-time booking through us.

Insider tip

Take the earliest slot you can — the lagoon holes are windless at dawn and the light on the water is worth the alarm alone.

The desert-links sibling — elevation, views, tougher wind

Gouna's second 18 plays completely differently: carved into the desert rise east of town with elevation changes, sculpted dunes and Red Sea panoramas from the high tees. Windier and more penal than the lagoon course — bring extra balls and a camera.

Best time

Calm mornings; the afternoon wind adds two clubs

Entry & fees

Green fees with buggy included (the terrain demands it) — rates and tee times arranged through us.

Insider tip

Play the forward tees without shame on your first round here — the course's teeth are in the wind and carries, and the views are identical.

El Gouna FC Match Day

Egyptian Premier League football in a town of 25,000 — go once, grin forever

The town's professional football club plays in the Egyptian Premier League, which means genuine top-flight matches — Cairo giants included — in an intimate stadium ten minutes from the marina. Tickets cost pennies by European standards and the atmosphere on big fixtures punches far above the town's size.

Best time

League season fixtures (autumn–spring) — we check the calendar

Entry & fees

Match tickets are inexpensive and bought around fixture days — we confirm the schedule and arrange them.

Insider tip

If one of the Cairo giants is visiting during your stay, drop a beach day for it — premier-league football against Al Ahly in a tiny desert-coast stadium is a story nobody else at home will have.
