Joubal Lagoon: Orascom Hotels & Development’s Newest Piece of Paradise in El Gouna

With summer all but here, most Cairenes’ attention will – if it hasn’t already – turn to planning weekend getaways at Egypt’s eclectic and varied coasts – the most prized of which is Red Sea haven, El Gouna. Standing as one of the most desirable location in Egypt, it wouldn’t be a stretch to call El Gouna the crown jewel of Orascom Hotels & Development’s impressive and increasingly expansive work – work which also includes, Taba Heights, Fayoum and Amoun Island in Egypt.

Launched in 1989, Egyptians flock to El Gouna year in, year out and the resort town has grown, most recently in April of this year, when Joubal Lagoon officially launched. As the newest development in El Gouna, the real estate sold out within a month – a testament to the continuing impact of Orascom Hotels & Development and the unique poise of Joubal Lagoon

But why all the excitement?

The arrival of Joubal Lagoon opens up El Gouna even more for Cairenes as an ideal second-home destination. As a centre point between Abu Tig Marina and the New Marina, Joubal Lagoon sits around a stunning lagoon and brings together the natural beauty of the area with modern and iconic touches, with energy efficient features being the backbone of the development.

With seventeen hotels, 463 commercial outlets, two eighteen-hole championship golf courses and water sports complex, Cable Park, not to mention an international standard hospital and schools, a Bibliotheca Alexandria-affiliated library and three world class marinas, Joubal Lagoon is situated perfectly with all the facilities and amenities one would need available.

But this is just the beginning. Plans are afoot for expansion as Orascom Hotels & Development prepare for follow-up phases; so worry not, you haven’t missed the boat – or, seeing as this is El Gouna, should we say you haven’t missed the yacht. Get it? No? Fine.
