- El Gouna is a nice, safe, gated town about half an hour's drive up the red sea coast from Hurghada.
- The Moevenpick El Gouna is a nice hotel complex composed of several "clusters" of rooms set around a number of lagoons and pools. However, some clusters are nicer than others. We initially got put in cluster 7 in a grim room and a sewage smell outside. We complained to our Thompson rep and got moved to a great room in cluster 3.
- Downtown El Gouna is good for supermarket shopping but poor for evening eating.
- El Gouna Marina is very nice for evening nosh, especially Bleu Bleu restaurant.
- The TukTuks are everywhere and cheap.
- The Mosquitos are buggers! Bring protection.
- You have to swim out quite a way to get to decent coral, but it is out there.
- The purple jellyfishes are harmless.
- The desert tour to see the bedouin camp is not worth it.
- Hurghada is a sad, ugly post-credit-crunch disaster.
- The Red Sea in April is lovely and warm but not overbearingly hot.
