1-Bedroom Apartment in Abu Tig Marina + Roof Top

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The moment you step onto that rooftop terrace, you’re basically eye-level with all the luxury yachts bobbing in Abu Tig Marina – and honestly, it feels like you’re staying on one of them. I mean, El Gouna can be pretty touristy, but this apartment sits right in the sweet spot where you get that upscale marina vibe without the crazy resort prices. The one-bedroom setup is actually more spacious than you’d expect, and whoever designed it clearly understood that people come here to live with the doors open to that Red Sea breeze.

The location is sort of perfect if you know El Gouna at all. You’re literally a two-minute walk from Captain Hani restaurant (their seafood platter is ridiculous), and the Zeytoun market is close enough that you can grab fresh ingredients for breakfast without it being a whole expedition. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night – the marina has this gentle lapping sound that’s way better than the typical hotel air conditioning drone. The apartment itself feels lived-in rather than sterile, with that kind of comfortable furniture that suggests the owners actually use this place themselves. The kitchen is small but functional, which matters because eating out for every meal in El Gouna adds up fast, and sometimes you just want to make coffee exactly how you like it while watching the morning light hit those ridiculous turquoise waters.

Here’s the thing about the rooftop though – it’s genuinely spectacular around sunset, but bring a light jacket because that desert air gets cool fast once the sun drops. I spent most evenings up there with a book and some wine from the Tamr Henna shop down the street, just watching the whole marina come alive. The WiFi actually works well enough for video calls (tested it multiple times), which is honestly hit-or-miss in this part of Egypt. Parking was never an issue, and the building feels secure without being fortress-like. The only minor thing I’d mention is that the shower pressure is decent but not amazing – though after a day of diving or kite surfing, you’re probably not too picky anyway. What really sets this place apart is that it feels like you’re staying in someone’s carefully curated second home rather than just another vacation rental, and in a destination like El Gouna where authenticity can be hard to find, that makes all the difference.
