Why this trip
El Gouna is a holiday resort built like a small town of lagoons and islands, and it is exactly this manageability that makes it attractive for families. Distances are short, the water is calm, and the sun shines reliably from October to April at pleasant temperatures. Children experience water in many ways here: in the pool, in the shallow lagoon, in the sea or on a small boat between the islands. Parents find shaded spots and cafés on the canals where they can sit while the little ones swim.
The flight time of around 4 to 4.5 hours is still very manageable for families from Switzerland, and in the region you usually land at Hurghada airport. Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and Dahab are nearby, but every drive there costs children patience. The region lives from the Red Sea, so it is worth planning with snorkel masks and life jackets. A room with space for the whole family and a short walk to the beach matter more for this trip than a dense programme.

Getting there
The family travels from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, and Swiss Vibes plans connection times so that the children have breaks in between.
