El Gouna specializes in watersports. There are several beaches including Zeytuna Beach (Arabic: شاطئ زيتونة) located on its own island, Mangroovy Beach, Moods Beach and other hotel beaches.

In 2017 an annual film festival was established, the El Gouna Film Festival.[5] Founded by telecom billionaire Naguib Sawiris,[6] El Gouna Film Festival was previously attended by globally prominent celebrities including Grey's Anatomy's Patrick Dempsey,[7] Rambo's Sylvester Stallone[8] and Bottle Rocket’s Owen Wilson.[9]
