Stunning with a Must Do Boat Ride
Although I have been to Hurghada many times I hadn't ventured to El Gouna. It's beauty is breathtaking. A contrast to the arid road outside. Once past the security gates lush greenery and stunning blue lagoons await. Ibriham ( sorry if this is not spelt correctly) was a perfect tour guide pointing out the sites around and answering any questions. The view from the tower was spectacular. The Marina's were a joy to see. Where as one radiated Caribbean vibes, from which we took a speed boat to explore, the other felt more Mediterranean. The speed boat ride was the highlight and worth doing while in El Gouna to see the coast of this beautiful city. I felt like I had been transported to a Tropical laid back paradise. Ahmed transported us with comfort and careful driving from my hotel and back. I can thoroughly recommend this trip if you are stopping in Hurghada and want to see how the wealthy live in this self contained city. A bar down on the marina beach does day bed rentals for 500 - 700 egp if you want to stop longer and soak up the vibes. There are also a number of hotels if you want to stay.
Response from the operator: Great thanks for your nice words 😊 and we are so happy that you are satisfied and looking forward to see you again Sun shine tours hope all the best for you

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
El Gouna -Private Sightseeing in the Egyptian Venice+Felucca Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does El Gouna -Private Sightseeing in the Egyptian Venice+Felucca Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does El Gouna -Private Sightseeing in the Egyptian Venice+Felucca Ride take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.
Is El Gouna -Private Sightseeing in the Egyptian Venice+Felucca Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule El Gouna -Private Sightseeing in the Egyptian Venice+Felucca Ride?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is El Gouna -Private Sightseeing in the Egyptian Venice+Felucca Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book El Gouna -Private Sightseeing in the Egyptian Venice+Felucca Ride?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does El Gouna -Private Sightseeing in the Egyptian Venice+Felucca Ride start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip, Orange Bay Island, Luxury Cruise to Orange Bay and Hula Hula island Trip. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hurghada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hurghada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
