Going back or sleeping on site
From Hurghada, El Gouna is about 25 minutes by car: an Uber or a return taxi in the evening is feasible, but plan the way back; see taxi, Uber and fares and El Gouna from Hurghada. For a stress-free evening, sleep on site: where to stay in El Gouna.
What to do in the daytime
To combine day and evening, see El Gouna in one day, the Abu Tig Marina page and the one on Downtown Tamr Henna.
