IF you're already looking for some winter sun, then there's a great spot just a few hours from the UK. <\/strong><\/p>\n While most Brit holidaymakers heading to Egypt visit Sharm El-Sheikh or Hurghada, there's also another spot with warm winter weather and cheap breaks. <\/p>\n Set on Egypt\u2019s Red Sea, the resort town of El Gouna lies just 12 miles away from Hurghada, and is quickly becoming a popular spot among Brit tourists. <\/p>\n The resort town is just a 30-minute drive from Hurghada Airport, and flights are less than six hours from the UK. <\/p>\n Wizz Air and\u00a0easyJet\u00a0operate direct flights from the UK to Hurghada Airport. <\/p>\n Temperatures in El Gouna can even reach 24C in the winter – making it an ideal spot for holidaymakers. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is a relatively new destination, having been developed in 1989 by Egyptian billionaire Onsi Sawiris, with the resorts scattered across 20 man-made islands.<\/p>\n Now seen as an affordable luxury resort, there are a number of sandy beaches including Zeytuna Beach and Moods Beach.<\/p>\n And there are more than just beaches in the resort town too, it's also home to over 100 bars and restaurants. <\/p>\n El Gouna also has 18 hotels including the likes of The Chedi, El Gouna,\u00a0Cook\u2019s Club,\u00a0Casa Cook, and the\u00a0Steigenberger Golf Resort – many of which are four stars or higher. <\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Outside of the hotel pools and beaches, there are plenty of other attractions for holidaymakers too including <\/p>\n In addition to the five-star hotels, the resort town has plenty of other attractions for holidaymakers including the region's longest cable park – Cable Park Sliders. <\/p>\n Other attractions include a sunset desert hike, scuba diving, and quad biking in the desert. <\/p>\n And holidays to El Gouna won't break the bank either, with holidays starting from \u00a3154 per person. <\/p>\n November stays at the Captain's Inn, a three-star hotel in El Gouna, start from \u00a344 per night based on two adults sharing a room. <\/p>\n This means that two holidaymakers could book a seven-night stay in the Egyptian resort for \u00a3154 per person. <\/p>\n El Gouna is two hours ahead of the UK.<\/p>\n While Arabic is the official language of Egypt, English is widely spoken at resorts.<\/p>\n The local currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP) with \u00a310 around 367 EGP.<\/p>\n You don't need to be vaccinated to visit El Gouna, but your\u00a0passport\u00a0will need to have at least 6 months left on it when you arrive.<\/p>\n You will need a\u00a0visa\u00a0to visit El Gouna, which you can get on arrival and costs around \u00a310.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, there are plenty of other holiday hotspots around Europe that are away from the tourist crowds. <\/p>\n One of those is Agadir, the largest seaside resort in in Morocco, with the city being completely rebuilt in the 1960s following a devastating earthquake.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meanwhile, these are the\u00a0top 25 holiday destinations\u00a0Brits want to visit this summer.<\/p>\n And, this\u00a0unknown holiday spot\u00a0is just three hours from the UK.<\/p>\n
