      New kite spot with attractive architecture

      New kite spot with attractive architecture and a great ambience. The staff is very accommodating and pleasant! The pizza… will quickly advance from an insider tip to the best pizza in El Gouna. Riah will become my new chill place.

      Wonderful chilled ambiance

      Spent the afternoon with the kids. Wonderful chilled ambiance, attentive staff and great food. My daughter loved her mocktail as well 🙂 definitely a great place to hang out even if you’re not a kiter. Already a big fan of their pizza and Riah will definitely become our favorite hang out place in El Gouna.
