The Red Sea Holiday for People Who Don’t Sit Still
Not every Turkish traveller wants seven days on the same sunbed.
El Gouna works especially well for people who want a beach holiday but still need variety, movement and a reason to get up in the morning.
Start with the Red Sea
Choose one or two water-based experiences:
Kitesurfing
Diving
Snorkelling
Sailing
Paddleboarding
Boat trips
Wakeboarding
Open-water swimming
Beginners should book professional instruction rather than choosing only by price.
Add a golf day
Golf offers a change from the beach and gives travellers a different view of El Gouna’s lagoons, desert landscape and open spaces.
During warmer months, choose an early starting time and keep the afternoon free.
Go beyond the coastline
A desert excursion creates a strong contrast with the water.
Depending on the provider, options may include horse riding, motor experiences or sunset trips.
Build in recovery
An active holiday should still include:
One pool afternoon
A spa treatment
A long lunch
An evening with no reservation
One flexible day
Without recovery time, the holiday can quickly become a checklist.
How should Turkish travellers choose a hotel?
Choose the hotel around your principal activity.
Golfers should prioritise course access. Kitesurfers should check the distance to their preferred centre. Divers should confirm collection and departure arrangements. Mixed groups should choose a hotel with enough facilities for anyone not joining the activity.
El Gouna’s official tourism content lists golf, sailing, diving, snorkelling, kitesurfing and other outdoor experiences across the destination.
