El Gouna is also known as the Venice of the Red Sea. This purpose built resort destination is built on a cluster of islands surrounded by turquoise blue lagoons, the mountains silhouette the background and border the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea. El Gouna has quickly developed into a major tourist attraction with its very own style and atmosphere. The Orca Dive Club El Gouna is situated within the Turtles Inn directly on the Abu Tig Marina. For those staying at the Turtles Inn, you are only a few steps away from the dive boats. Guests staying in other hotels are picked-up and delivered back to their accommodation with the Dive Clubs complimentary shuttle service. Distance to Hurghada Airport is only 35km, with a transfer time of approx. 40mins. |
