There is currently a project to build a larger ,second ,marina basin in the Abu Tig Marina in El Gouna,this is due to the lack of berthing spaces for the larger yachts that visit the resort . The work is ongoing and is not scheduled for completion until 2008.However the project is at the back of the current marina and on the opposite side of the basin to the Three Corners Hotel so you should not notice much in the way of disruption or Noise .

When we were there in December the works didn't spoil our enjoyment of the Marina Area.

If you are still concerned why not ask if you can move to one of the other hotels such as the Sheraton Miramar or Movenpick ? These are further away from the Marina .

There is building work in much of El Gouna due to its increasing popularity but we have never found that it spoilt our holiday in any way.

If you think of the current "new" marina as a W Shape - the Ocean View 3 Corners is on the right hand tip of the W - with the building work out to the left of the left hand tip of it!! (gosh - is that making any sesne???) - you have effectively got 2 bays of a large Marina and a small beach between you and the construction site that will be el gouna's Third (and largest) Marina.

I don't think you would necessarily even notice the work going on!!

PM me with your e-mail address and I'll forward you a site map of el gouna that may put your mind at rest a little.

BTW Crombie and I (who both have houses in El Gouna!) have both assumed you mean 3 Corners Ocean View - but sometimes the Rihana is also called the 3 Corners - and that is even further away - almost in downtown!

Hi everyone,
Have decided to go ahead with the holiday as it seems wil will hardly notice the building work from our hotel (3 Corners Ocean View).
I have PM'd you TAH-M.
Thanks for all your help guys...what a great forum this is!
