Your Favourite El Gouna Spots That Have a Cairo Address

That five-hour drive to El Gouna? Sure, it starts out noble - salt air, sunkissed escape, playlist queued. But somewhere around Hour Three, it morphs into a singular mission: that black truffle tagliolini from Zia Amelia. The risotto from Pier 88, rich with saffron and sea. The burger at Le Garage that hits like a memory you didn’t know you had.

Now, you don’t need to white-knuckle the Sokhna road just to chase a craving. El Gouna’s cult-favorite restaurants have quietly colonized Cairo, one outpost at a time. We tracked down every spot that made the leap - from Marina to Maadi, from lagoon views to city grid - and mapped them all. Your El Gouna fix now lives 20 minutes away, no hotel booking required.
