Why this trip

A seaside resort that was only laid out on the Red Sea a few decades ago, with canals, small bridges and a marina: El Gouna feels tidier than other coastal places in Egypt. That appeals to families who want short distances and clean beaches. There is no list of places for El Gouna, so planning depends more on accommodation and beach than on sights. If you want more, travel to Hurghada for diving or on to Luxor for the temples.

Dahab and Sharm el-Sheikh on the Sinai are other coastal destinations and lie on the other side of the Gulf. Because hotels from the data list are missing, the selection follows your wishes: family rooms, protected beach areas for women, meals according to your requirements. This is best clarified before booking. The best time runs from October to April, and the flight time is about 4 to 4.5 hours.

A visa is required according to the country information, with visa on arrival or eVisa, and should be checked before the trip. Tipping, called baksheesh, is part of everyday life, and tap water is best left alone.

Getting there

For the journey, Halal Travel takes prayer times and catering on board into account from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse.
