About El Gouna

El Gouna is the most established luxury resort town on the Red Sea, built by Orascom across a network of islands and lagoons just north of Hurghada. With its own marina, international school, full hospital, golf course and a year-round events calendar, it functions as a self-contained town rather than a holiday strip — which is why it attracts lifestyle buyers and long-stay residents from across Europe.

Property in El Gouna sits at the premium end of the Hurghada market: lagoon-front apartments, marina townhouses and standalone villas. Supply is tightly managed by the master developer, which supports strong resale values and a mature short-let market. MAMO sources El Gouna homes directly, with full legal due diligence and no buyer commission.
