I spent 2 weeks in El Gouna. El Gouna has a coworking space G*space for about 5 euros / month and working from there was amazing. Internet is very reliable. El Gouna is not like the rest of Egypt. El Gouna is very safe. In terms of accommodation, short term airbnb might be quite pricey (I paid around 650 euros for 2 weeks). Long term rent through a rental agency can come down to around 500 euros / month for an apt with a pool access. I definitely recommend El Gouna for digital nomads. Its a plac

It is still great and you can find really cheap apartments (300-400$) and restaurants (2-3$ for a main). Wouldn't recommend staying there during the burning season. The best area is Nimman, but it's also the most expensive. You can stay in the old city that's very nice but that gets noisy during the weekend for the night markets. Last but not least, very safe city. All in all would go back in a heartbeat.
