When most travelers think of Egypt, the first images that come to mind are the ancient pyramids, bustling Cairo streets, or the desert stretching endlessly under the sun. But hidden on the Red Sea coast lies a completely different side of Egypt — a charming resort town built on lagoons and canals, where life moves to the rhythm of the water. Welcome to El Gouna, the Venice of the Red Sea.
And at the heart of it all, OllyStays offers the perfect place to experience this magical lifestyle.
A Town Designed by Water
El Gouna isn’t just another resort town — it’s a carefully designed community where waterways connect neighborhoods, marinas, and hotels. Instead of cars, you’ll often see small boats gently gliding through the lagoons. Bridges link islands, and colorful villas line the shores, creating a scene that feels both Mediterranean and uniquely Egyptian.
At OllyStays, waking up by the lagoons means every morning feels like a postcard. Guests sip their coffee as the sunlight reflects off the water, and evenings are spent strolling along peaceful canals.
Exploring by Boat – A Unique Way of Living
In most cities, you call a taxi. In El Gouna, you hop on a boat. Lagoon tours are one of the best ways to discover the hidden corners of the town. From the water, you’ll spot stunning villas, tucked-away cafés, and lively beach clubs that you might miss otherwise.
For OllyStays guests, booking a lagoon trip is effortless — the front desk can connect you with trusted local operators who’ll give you a personalized tour. It’s not just sightseeing; it’s an experience that makes you feel like part of the El Gouna way of life.
Dining by the Lagoons
One of El Gouna’s greatest pleasures is dining with a view. Restaurants and cafés line the marina and lagoons, offering everything from fresh seafood caught that morning to international fine dining. Imagine sitting under the stars, enjoying a freshly grilled fish, while the lagoon water ripples beside you.
For those staying at OllyStays, many of these dining spots are just minutes away. Whether you’re in the mood for authentic Egyptian flavors, Italian pasta, or sushi by the sea, El Gouna has it all.
A Community That Feels Like Home
What sets El Gouna apart from other resort towns is its sense of community. It’s not just for tourists — people from around the world have chosen to make it their home. This creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone, from shop owners to fellow travelers, greets you with a smile.
OllyStays embraces this spirit. Guests are more than visitors; they’re part of a lifestyle. From personalized recommendations to helping you discover local events and gatherings, our team ensures you feel like you belong.
