Private airstrip serving El Gouna's exclusive Red Sea resort.

Location
El Gouna, Egypt
El Gouna Private Airport (ICAO: HEGO) is a small private airfield located within the El Gouna resort complex on Egypt's Red Sea coast, approximately 25 kilometers north of Hurghada. It primarily serves private aircraft, charter flights, and VIP traffic catering to the upscale resort community developed by Orascom Development. The airstrip is not open to scheduled commercial airline operations and lacks the infrastructure of a full international airport. Visitors arriving on commercial flights typically use Hurghada International Airport (HRG) as their primary gateway before transferring to El Gouna by road. El Gouna itself is a purpose-built resort town, and the private airport reflects its exclusive character, offering convenient access for private jet users and charter operators visiting the Red Sea destination.

Ground transfers to El Gouna's resort areas are available by road, with Hurghada International Airport serving as the primary commercial gateway approximately 25 kilometers to the south.

Dining

Dining within El Gouna itself is varied and high quality, with numerous waterfront restaurants lining the marina and lagoon areas serving Egyptian, Mediterranean, and international cuisine. The airport facility is minimal in terms of onsite catering, so travellers should expect to dine within the resort town rather than at the airstrip. El Gouna's Abu Tig Marina area is particularly noted for its concentration of restaurants and cafés.

Traveller Tips
  • Coordinate ground transfers with your hotel in advance, as the airport has limited standalone transport infrastructure.
  • For commercial flights, Hurghada International Airport (HRG) is approximately 22 km south and handles all scheduled airline services.
  • El Gouna operates largely as a cashless-friendly resort town, but carry some Egyptian pounds for small purchases.
  • The airport is not publicly accessible in the conventional sense — confirm landing permissions and arrangements well ahead of arrival.
