We just returned from vacation in El Gouna.

There are fantastic all inclusive deals right now in Gouna and I would recommend the Panorama Bungalows Resort as it is fantastic.

They had about 30% occupancy with English and Russian and German tourists.

The prices for Gouna and Hurghada are a lot cheaper than Sokhna right now so if you want the Gouna Experience get it now before prices return to normal.
