Audio Guide of El Gouna Aquarium

The aquarium is located in the Kafr area (El Gouna's center or downtown). It is generally open every day from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, making it an easy stop while you stroll through the town. You can check updated details on the official El Gouna website.

Admission is very inexpensive, usually around 50 EGP (Egyptian pounds), which is just over 1 euro or dollar. It is an almost symbolic fee intended to support maintenance of the facilities and feeding of the marine species.

It is a small and educational facility, so a visit of 30 to 45 minutes is more than enough. It is ideal for a quick educational stop without taking up your whole vacation morning or afternoon.

More than a historic site, it is an interpretation center that is essential for understanding the Red Sea ecosystem. El Gouna prides itself on being an eco-friendly town, and this aquarium teaches visitors about local biodiversity and coral reef conservation.

Since it is an indoor space, the best time is midday (between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM), when the Egyptian sun is strongest outside. Any time of year is good, as it serves as a cool refuge in summer and a pleasant outing in winter.

Yes, the Kafr area of El Gouna and access to the aquarium are usually at street level or equipped with easy ramps, making entry easier for people with reduced mobility. El Gouna is known for being one of the most accessible towns in Egypt.

Since it is in downtown, you are just a short walk from El Gouna's small history museum and Tamr Henna Square, which is full of shops and cafés. You can also take the opportunity to see the Nubian architecture that characterizes this area by checking information at Visit El Gouna.

Manage your expectations: it is not a giant oceanarium, but a small living museum. Take the chance to read the information panels about poisonous Red Sea species so you can identify them if you go snorkeling later at the beach.
