About Maraya El Gouna
Maraya El Gouna is a modern residential community conceived around the theme of reflection. Clean architectural lines, open floor plans and floor-to-ceiling glass bring in natural light, while large swimming pools, lagoon-style water features and landscaped courtyards create a calm, resort-like setting.
The project is sold in three parts. Maraya 2 is a completed phase of studios and duplexes, ready for immediate use or rental. Maraya 3 is an off-plan phase of nine residential buildings arranged around a central water feature, with one- to three-bedroom apartments and generous terraces and balconies. Maraya Villas is a collection of two-storey standalone villas with private pools, gardens and pool-deck terraces.
Residents get 24/7 gated security, private parking, pedestrian-friendly promenades and quick access to El Gouna’s beaches, marinas, golf course, schools, hospital and restaurants.
Who is behind the project?
Market listings name EIT (Egyptian International Tourism Developments) as the developer of Maraya. Our team confirms the developer, the contract and the delivery terms with you before you commit.
Life at Maraya El Gouna
Life at Maraya El Gouna combines quiet residential living with El Gouna’s famous lifestyle. Spend mornings by the pool or on your terrace, cycle or take an e-bike to Abu Tig Marina and Downtown in about five minutes, and enjoy beach clubs, kitesurfing, diving, golf and some of the best restaurants on the Red Sea.
El Gouna also has international schools, El Gouna International Hospital and year-round events, which makes Maraya suitable for full-time living as well as holidays and rental investment.
Holiday home, rental or both
Many buyers at Maraya El Gouna use their apartment for a few weeks a year and rent it out the rest of the time. Studios and one-bedroom units are popular with couples and short-stay visitors, while larger apartments attract families who come for longer holidays. Professional management partners can handle guests, cleaning and maintenance while you are away, so you can earn from your property without being in Hurghada.
Why El Gouna?
El Gouna is a private, fully serviced town about 20–25 km north of Hurghada, developed by Orascom Development around lagoons, beaches and marinas. It has Abu Tig Marina, a championship golf course, an international hospital, schools, a conference centre and year-round events such as the El Gouna Film Festival.
Because it is privately managed and very popular with European buyers and holidaymakers, El Gouna has some of the strongest resale values and rental demand on the Red Sea. Hurghada International Airport is around 25–30 minutes away.
What to check before you buy
When choosing a unit at Maraya El Gouna, compare floors and orientations, as views and sunlight vary between buildings. Ask about the maintenance deposit and yearly service charges, the exact finishing specification and the delivery terms in the contract. Our team explains each payment option clearly, confirms the details in writing and follows progress for you until handover.
Buying safely with Rook
Whether you are buying your first holiday home or adding to a portfolio, the process at Maraya El Gouna is straightforward with the right support. We start by understanding your budget and goals, then send you the latest price list, floor plans and available units, and compare them honestly with similar projects nearby.
Before you pay anything, our team reviews the developer’s track record, the project’s progress and the sales contract, and explains every important clause in plain language – delivery dates, maintenance, resale and rental rules. Payments always go directly to the developer’s official bank account against a receipt, and we keep copies of every document for you.
After the purchase, we stay in touch with updates until handover, and our partners can help with furnishing, rental management and maintenance, so your apartment is ready to enjoy or earn from as soon as it is delivered.
Living in El Gouna all year
Many buyers choose Maraya El Gouna not only as a holiday home but as a place to live for part or all of the year. Supermarkets, pharmacies, clinics, international schools, gyms, banks and a wide choice of restaurants and cafés are all within easy reach. Winters are mild and sunny, which is why many European owners spend several months here between October and April.
Beaches, diving centres and boat trips to the islands are close by, so weekends can be spent snorkelling, sailing or simply relaxing by the sea, while the resort’s own facilities make everyday life comfortable.
