El Gouna beach

The beaches along the hotels are sometimes created artificially. At the same time, sand was imported from the desert, as well as during dredging of the sea nearby.

Marina Beach - a half-artificial beach, distincted with dirty yellow sand. In some places, the sand becomes ashen in color due to the remnants of coral deposits. The sand is quite large, you can call it half pebble. In some places, medium-sized sand covers rock deposits at a shallow depth.

The beach was originally located next to the shallow water. However, after dredging for nearby piers, the depth at a distance from the coast became much greater. However, for almost two tens of meters, the depth does not exceed the growth of an ordinary adult. About a hundred to two hundred meters from the beach, the shallows begin again, along with small islands of reefs and corals. However, it is not recommended to get to them by swimming - because in this case it will be necessary to cross a narrow deep part, where is the busy traffic of sea boats.

The beach is well and thoroughly cleaned. Directly along the coast there are enough places to relax, where you can hide from the sun. Around the middle of the beach there are large free spaces. However, sunbathing here is difficult due to the lack of greenery and other sources of shade at any time, except in the morning.

There is greenery on the beach, but closer to the buildings - cafes, restaurants and other small places of service.

When is it better to go?

Red Sea resorts are open year-round. However, in July and August it is better to refrain from traveling, because there is unbearable heat, approximately 35-40 degrees, you can sunbathe in the sun instantly. May-June and September-October is the best time to travel to Egypt, because the heat is decreasing and hotel prices are getting lower (since the Mediterranean holiday season is still open).
