Red Sea resort to boast new hotels and marina

The Red Sea resort of El Gouna in Egypt is set to benefit from the development of two new hotels and a marina this year.

Due to open in November, the new properties will bring the total number of hotels in the destination to 16.

Named Fanadir El Gouna and Mosaique El Gouna, the four-star establishments will comprise 54 and 69 rooms respectively and feature amenities including restaurants, swimming pools and bars.

The hotel developments are located next to each other on the new marina, which is an extension of the existing Abu Tig facility.

Mayar Abdel Aziz, vice-president of marketing at Orascom, the company behind the new properties, said: "El Gouna has grown in popularity year-on-year and we need to meet the high level of demand.

"The new hotels will add to the extensive accommodation we already offer in El Gouna and will be a welcome addition to the resort."

One of the easiest ways for travellers to reach El Gouna is to take flights to Hurghada, which are available with carriers including EgyptAir and bmi.
