Abu Tig Marina & North Basin: Walk around, grab a coffee, and enjoy the marina views.
Downtown & Tamr Henna: Good food and ice cream. The kids will enjoy it.
Optional: Take a boat ride on the lagoon to get cool photos and see the town from the water.
Good for Kids: It’s easy to get around. The sidewalks are stroller-friendly, plus there are playgrounds and safe areas to walk around in the squares. Stop for a snack.
Tip: Book a private day trip to El Gouna from Hurghada with a driver. You can decide where to go and when, and the driver will take you back afterward. This is useful if you’re with family or want to take photos when the light is best.
