Green Gouna

Green Gouna, an El Gouna community initiative, has been established since January 2003 and involves all the dive centres, hotels and many outlets. The goals of Green Gouna are to help develop the resort as an ecotourism destination. Green Gouna pursues this goal by involving the entire community in the protection and preservation of the delicate Red Sea and El Gouna environments through education, recycling, clean-up campaigns, festivals and the establishment and the enforcement of environmental standards and guidelines.

Environmental Initiatives

  • There is an ongoing push in El Gouna to eradicate the use of plastic bags, replacing them with recyclable paper bags or other re-usable materials.
  • Installation of recycling bins for glass, paper, plastic and cans in El Gouna.
  • Conservation awareness campaigns directed to staff, residents and visitors.
  • Establishment of an educational photo gallery on El Gouna wildlife.
  • Installation and maintenance of mooring systems for diving boats in cooperation with the Hurghada Environmental Protection and Conservation Association (HEPCA).

Environmental Guidelines
 Help us preserve the natural beauty of El Gouna by observing the following rules:

  • Don't pick up shells, not even the empty ones on the beach
  • Don't touch the mangrove trees
  • Don't touch, feed, or catch fish or crabs
  • Don't touch or step on the coral; take care when snorkelling
  • Don't throw litter in the sea or anywhere else
  • Don't buy souvenirs made of shells or animal products – most of which are illegal to import/export
  • Motor-operated cars and bikes are not allowed on the beach.
