To celebrate its 35th anniversary, El Gouna, the fully integrated and sustainable coastal town by Orascom Development, launches the Red Sea’s first-of-its-kind culinary experience. The event will bring together world-renowned chefs holding a combined 35 Michelin stars, the world’s highest distinction for culinary excellence, further cementing the culinary pillar in El Gouna’s portfolio. As a pioneer in developing platforms across art, culture, sports, entertainment, entrepreneurship and gastronomy, including its flagship event El Gouna Film Festival, the town continues to lead and inspire its community, reinforcing its role as a destination for innovation and global dining excellence.

Spanning four days in November, this festivity will unfold in its natural home, a destination where sustainability, community and gastronomy have long gone hand in hand.

This event is set against an already thriving culinary landscape, with over 100 diverse dining offerings, blending local authenticity with global cuisines.

In parallel, the culinary celebration marks the launch of La Maison Bleue Residences (LMBR), a new residential development, inspired by the artistic and architectural legacy of La Maison Bleue Hotel.

El Gouna is the perfect setting for such an experience, being home to more than 100 dining destinations offering world-class cuisines, a thriving community of local and international chefs, and hotels that embrace sustainability by using homegrown harvests and bringing the concept of farm-to-table to life. As we celebrate 35 years since El Gouna’s establishment, this culinary showcase, alongside the launch of the distinctive La Maison Bleue Residences, reinforces our commitment to innovation and to creating exceptional experiences that rival those of the world’s greatest cities.”

This landmark celebration will culminate in a Gala Dinner, hosted at El Gouna’s newest restaurant “Botanica”, the Middle East’s pioneering hydroponic restaurant, bringing the concept of seed-to-table to life, with curated Michelin-star dishes crafted entirely from homegrown fresh ingredients using innovative soil-free farming. El Gouna’s farm-to-table heritage, sustained by locally cultivated produce and pioneering hydroponic initiative, makes the town a leader in sustainable gastronomy. With this unique fusion, El Gouna’s welcoming the world’s top chefs while setting the stage for a global dialogue between culinary innovation and local tradition.

Among the highlights of the week is a masterclass by Italian Chef Norbert Niederkofler, a renowned three-Michelin-starred chef and recipient of the Green Michelin Star for his commitment to sustainability, who will share his celebrated philosophy of cooking in harmony with nature.
