Shedwan 2 Bdr Ground Floor

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Shedwan 2 Bdr Ground Floor? The name sounds so… clinical, but honestly, this little ground-floor apartment in El Gouna turned out to be one of those hidden gems that make you feel like you’ve discovered something special. I mean, El Gouna itself is already this incredible planned resort town along the Red Sea – sort of like someone took Venice and dropped it into the Egyptian desert with way better weather – but finding a proper two-bedroom place right in the thick of things? That’s actually harder than you’d think.

The location is what really makes this work. You’re walking distance from the marina (which, let me tell you, gets pretty lively in the evenings with all the restaurants and that gentle clinking of boat masts), but being on the ground floor means you’re not dealing with stairs after a long day of diving or exploring Hurghada’s old town. The apartment itself has this lived-in comfort that I honestly prefer over those sterile resort rooms – you’ve got actual space to spread out, a kitchen where you can make coffee the way you like it, and windows that open to let in those desert breezes that smell faintly of salt and… well, adventure, I suppose. The two bedrooms mean you’re not cramped if you’re traveling with friends or family, and there’s something nice about having separate spaces when you need to decompress from all that Egyptian sun.

What I really appreciated – and this might sound small, but it matters – is how quiet it gets at night despite being so central. El Gouna has this way of winding down after the dinner crowd heads home, leaving you with just the distant sound of water lapping against the docks. The ground floor setup means easy access if you’re planning those early morning fishing trips or want to catch the sunrise over the Red Sea (trust me, do this at least once). Plus, you’re close enough to walk to the grocery stores and local spots where the staff actually remembers your name after a couple days. It’s that perfect balance of being in the action but having a real home base to return to – which, after bouncing around Egypt’s more touristy areas, feels like exactly what you need.
