Downtown El Gouna: the Red Sea town centre, from EGP 36M from the developer

Downtown El Gouna is the town-centre project of El Gouna, planned by Orascom Development Egypt. It has restaurants, cafés, shops, hotels and nightlife, surrounded by chalets, apartments, townhouses and villas. Developer prices in Downtown start at EGP 36,180,000, per two price pages of July and October 2026. The shop we hold details for, 120 m² and finished, is ready, and the developer releases a few units at a time. Ask what is available on WhatsApp 01270970000.

Downtown prices and payment plans

What are Downtown El Gouna prices? Developer prices start at EGP 36,180,000, per two price pages of July and October 2026. The payment plan differs from one source to another, so we get it in writing from Orascom before you decide. We have no priced shops in El Gouna to compare with, so ask about the rents of shops next to the unit and judge the price on that basis.

Buying a shop in a resort town: do the sums

Footfall in El Gouna is high in season and on holidays and drops at other times. Ask about rent in the quiet months, not just in season, about yearly service charges, and whether El Gouna's management sets conditions on the type of business.

Who is Downtown for?

A restaurant, café or shop owner

A finished 120 m² shop in the centre of El Gouna.
