El Gouna is a tourist resort located on the Red Sea in the Red Sea Governorate of Egypt. It is a self- contained town which offers resort hotels, bars and restaurants, shops, 18 hole golf course and a marina. There are two main beaches, Zeytuna Beach located on its own island and Mangroovy Beach. A network of canals allow many houses to have their own strip of beach, even hundreds of metres inland. Most of these canals are crossed by small stone bridges.
The town houses a small museum with some 90 exhibits (including statue replicas and an exhibition hall of contemporary Egyptian paintings by Hussein Bikar). Other attractions/activities around town include a small aquarium, a go-kart track, a paintball arena, tennis courts, horse stables and a football stadium.
