El Gouna Half Marathon 2025


Woke up early, drank a tea, got ready. Walked down, booked a taxi (through InDrive) to reach the start point of El Gouna Half Marathon. Reached at the start point 20 minutes before, and I was all set for the run. There were a lot of people running, and the scenery was beautiful.

The half marathon was flagged off at 7 AM, I enjoyed my run, really one of the most beautiful places you will run. One lady was running with her pet dog, and the dog ran half marathon.

The last 5 KM, I ran with Kareem, studying in Manara boarding school in El Gouna, we both finished the run together. After the run, took some rest, clicked some photos, booked a taxi to reach my hostel in Hurghada. I had to catch a bus to Luxor in afternoon. Reached hostel, took shower and cleaned myself, checked out from hostel, reached GoBus station, waited for my bus to Luxor.

Boarded the bus, reached Luxor around 8 PM, the GoBus dropped me near Luxor railway station, walked to the ferry station to catch a ferry to West Bank of Luxor. Paid 25 EGP for a ferry to West Bank, for locals its just 5 EGP (the public ferry, the big boat, depart from point close to Luxor museum). Walked to my hostel in Luxor, drank some tea and had some conversation with other travellers.
