Because of our 25th anniversary we went looking for a special holiday. The lady from travel agency VakantieXperts already gave a tip to go to Labranda Club Paradisio in El Gouna (Egypt). We are not normally real holidaymakers who visit a different country every year. We do have some experience with Turkey, Bulgaria, France, Italy and Spain, but this resort surpassed everything.

We came here in the middle of the month of August 2017. The climate is easy to maintain. Despite the 36 to 40 degrees, a nice breeze blows regularly. The resort looks beautiful. Of course there are small points for improvement, but you have that everywhere.

The staff are very friendly and go above and beyond for you. The resort has two restaurants, including a pizza / pasta restaurant. The choice is enormous in the large Marco Polo restaurant. However, I did take some sort of stomach protector three times a day because your gut flora works differently here.

We have made several trips through the tour guide of the travel organization FTI. Afterwards, these can be booked much cheaper in your own country in advance. If you ever want to make the El Gouna tour, that is recommended, however the Sandelholz oil and the liquid eukalyptus that is offered in the Oasis is much cheaper in Downtown. It seems that the tour guide gets a 50% commission. This will also apply to the day trips.

A trip to Hurghada by taxi costs about 13 euros, one way. The Senzo Mall shopping center is a must, especially for people who love MC Donalds. A complete menu costs only 3.50 there.

In El Gouna Tok Toks drive. They will take you to the center for just over 1 euro. There you can also eat well. The four of you will spend around 25 euros including two drinks. The Dunes restaurant is highly recommended. There they serve a delicious steak of 200 grams including fries for less than 6 euros. The shrimps were also well received.

As a tip, I also give me to just bring euros. We had not done that and it cost us a lot extra. You can pay with euros everywhere.

We will definitely come back here. Next time we would like to go to Luxor and Cairo. We do this with the two of us, so without the kids ... they prefer to lie in the sun or spend money in the center.
