El Gouna
The place
El Gouna
A town built across lagoons on the Red Sea, half an hour north of Hurghada airport. Water everywhere, reefs a few minutes out, desert at its back — and short enough distances that the whole week feels like one long, slow day.
The wedding day
The Smokery Beach, El Gouna
Friday, 2 April 2027. The ceremony begins at 3:00 pm at The Smokery Beach, followed by a long dinner and a party by the water. For anyone who would rather not go to bed, there is an optional after-party.

Thursday, 1 April 2027

Friday, 2 April 2027
From 3:00 pm
The wedding
Reception from 3:00 pm, wedding ceremony, dinner and party at The Smokery Beach — with an optional after-party for those still standing.
Where to stay
Mangroovy, next to the venue
We are holding shared apartments and room blocks in El Gouna Mangroovy, a short walk from the wedding venue. Tell us in the form and we will take care of the booking — or choose your own; El Gouna has plenty of four- and five-star hotels and apartments.
Mangroovy Residences
Apartments and villas around a shared pool, a few minutes on foot from the wedding venue. Ideal for groups who want to stay together.
DoubleTree by Hilton Mangroovy
A full-service hotel on the same stretch of Mangroovy beach. The easy option if you would rather have a room, breakfast and a front desk.
Make it a trip
Experience Egypt
Three ways people usually do it. Tell us which one appeals and we will help you build the itinerary, the flights and the hops in between.
Route one
Cairo, the Nile and Aswan
Fly into Cairo, take in the pyramids and the museum, continue down to Luxor and Aswan, then travel on to El Gouna for the wedding.
Route two
El Gouna with a Cairo detour
Fly into Hurghada and add a two-day trip up to Cairo in the beginning or end of your stay.
Route three
El Gouna and day trips
Fly into Hurghada, stay in El Gouna the whole time, and pick day trips from there — desert, reefs, Luxor or Cairo (overnight stay recommended).
Questions about anything above? Just text us — we are happy to help you plan.

A note on dates: German Easter holidays end right after the wedding, so flights home on Saturday 3 or Sunday 4 April are considerably more expensive. If you can, fly back on Monday 5 April. Our recommended window is Monday 29 March to Monday 5 April — it lands you in time for the whole programme at the best fare.
