If you’re looking for a great holiday destination for all the family, then check out the tourist resort and town of El Gouna in Egypt.

Situated between the Red Sea and the mountains, this Egyptian resort boasts sun and sand as well as some great opportunities for fun and relaxation. All your vacation needs are thought of in El Gouna, whether you’re looking to do a sport, be entertained, to lie on a beach or enjoy some delicious food and drink.

El Gouna is a purpose-built resort which is built on small islands joined by bridges, canals and lagoons. It has so much to offer its visitors of all ages and it’s an ideal location for a self-catering holiday, as there are plenty of holiday property rentals in this area.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing beach vacation or an action-packed sports break, El Gouna is a perfect choice.

El Gouna boasts some beautiful beaches. Mangroovy Beach is a fantastic place to do kitesurfing. If you prefer, you can also try your hand at snorkelling or windsurfing. Or you can just choose to lie back on a sun-bed and have food and drinks bought to you! Zeytouna Beach, meanwhile, is located on its own island. Here you can just sunbathe, have a drink and something to eat at the beach bar or play a game of volleyball.

If you’re a sports lover, you will be spoilt for choice in this Egyptian resort. There are so many sporting opportunities and facilities. In fact, this is a great location for diving. There are a number of diving centres here and there are courses available for everyone, including the kids. Here you can see some lovely reefs, wrecks and marine life.

As well as kitesurfing and diving, there are many other *********** on offer. For example, you can go windsurfing, waterskiing, fishing, sailing or snorkelling.

If you prefer land-based activities, you will be spoilt for choice, too. There’s tennis, squash, mini-golf, go-karting, paintballing, horse-riding, biking etc. You can also enjoy a game of golf in El Gouna, as it boasts a lovely 18-hole championship golf course!

But if sport’s not your thing, there are plenty of other things to see and do during your holiday in El Gouna. During your self-catering vacation, you might like to sample some of the food on offer, as there’s a great selection of restaurants in this area.

El Gouna is also a good place to catch up on some shopping during your vacation.

Kafr El Gouna is the downtown area of El Gouna and boasts shopping arcades, bazaars, cafes, restaurants and bars.

Abu Tig Marina is another popular tourist area of El Gouna. The harbour town has some great shops, restaurants, cafes, bars - and, of course, yachts!

There is also some good nightlife on offer in El Gouna. You can dance the night away at a nightclub or simply enjoy a drink at a bar - whatever takes your fancy.

Although there is plenty going on in El Gouna, you might want to check out some other areas of Egypt during your vacation. El Gouna is a great base from which to explore other parts of this amazing country. There is a choice of tours available. For example, you can hire a yacht and see the islands or take a trip on a lovely motor sailing home. Or if you prefer to see the sights from land, then you can go on a desert safari, which is a fantastic experience.

If you have the time during your holiday in Egypt, try to visit Cairo or Luxor. You can choose to travel by either bus or plane and you can make it a day trip or an overnighter.

El Gouna is a great holiday destination for everyone. It’s ideal for annual family vacation or a sightseeing holiday. What’s more, it’s a good location for a holiday property rental.

Lydia K Kelly asked:


There are many types of bedding common to horse farms across North America. At each barn you will see owners that swear by their bedding type, and assert that it is far better than anything else. But, how can you tell which bedding really is best?

When choosing what to use as bedding, there are several factors to consider. These include the material, its availability, cost, ease of cleaning, disposal and the existing flooring. Because every barn is different, every barn owner makes a different decision when it comes to the best bedding.

Material

The most common types of bedding are shavings and straw. Shavings come in every grade from sawdust to large, thick flakes. While sawdust is more absorbent, it is dusty and not as good for the lungs. Large flake shavings are a lot more expensive, but are a healthier alternative. Straw is the leftover stalks of various grains, usually oats, barley or wheat.. Some straw can be coarse or even prickly, while other types are soft and absorbent. Some horses like to eat straw.

Less common bedding choices include peat moss, processed wood and processed newspaper. All three are more expensive, but have some advantages. Peat moss is very heavy, but is super absorbent and hypoallergenic. Processed wood and newspaper is also very absorbent and hypoallergenic, and also don’t tend to stain the coat. They tend to be very easy to clean, and often are quick to compost.

Cost

Whether we like it or not, cost is always a factor when selecting bedding. It can be hard to justify spending a lot of money just to toss it out the next day. Sawdust is generally the least expensive, usually delivered in bulk. Straw is next on the list, but can be a bit harder to work with. Bagged shavings are fairly expensive, but are a popular choice as they tend to be easy to manage and are nice and fluffy. Peat moss and processed wood or paper are the most expensive, but you also use a lot less of them. Set up costs are high, but long-term they can save money.

Ease of Cleaning

A lot of this is personal preference. There are people who swear by shavings, while others swear by straw. Shavings are generally lighter to handle, and it is easy to remove wet spots and droppings from them. Straw tends to be heavier and can get very soggy. Straw also tends to harbor more odor than shavings. Peat moss is very hard to clean, is heavy, weighing a ton when wet, and tends to pack. Processed wood and paper are very easy to clean, but can be more work to replenish. Often they need to be soaked in water for several hours before spreading, adding to the time required for rebedding stalls.

Disposal

Straw is the easiest bedding to dispose of, especially if you are in an area where you do not have a lot of property. Often mushroom producers will send out a truck to pick up your straw bedding, thus removing it from your farm and taking care of the problem. Straw decomposes well, and can be used or sold as garden manure. Shavings are usually more difficult. Some types of shavings are fairly acidic, and may take a while to decompose. Most mushroom men do not like to use shavings for their produce. Peat moss decomposes quickly, as does processed wood and paper.

Flooring

While the flooring you have may not affect the type of bedding you use, it does affect how much of that bedding you will need. Concrete and asphalt floors are very hard and require deep bedding. Dirt floors are better, and require a bit less bedding, but you still should bed deeply. Rubber mats are a wonderful flooring choice, and greatly reduce the amount of bedding you require. There are even some types of mats that are thick enough to require virtually no bedding at all.

Whatever bedding you choose, it is essential to clean your stalls daily, removing all urine and manure. Keeping your barn clean helps keep your horses healthy, and keeps the odor under control.

A neighbor has a horse stable on the property behind my home. He has taken to dumping the manure from the stables very near the property line at the back of my house. The smell and the flies are becoming a huge problem. Do I have any recourse to stop him from doing this?

When your horse turns two, you can finally consider beginning his training to be a riding horse. Assuming that he already knows the basics of being led and tied, he is now mature enough to handle light work, and real training.

It is possible to begin training your two-year-old to longe. While it may seem simple, longing can be quite hard on a young horse’s joints, so be careful not to use too small a circle, or to longe for an extended amount of time. Instead, use short sessions, starting at a walk, and slowly progressing to trot work. Most two-year-olds are not yet balanced enough to manage a canter on a longe line, so it is better to avoid canter work for now.

As you teach your youngster voice commands, consider teaching him to free longe. As a yearling, it was more of a game, but by two, you should be able to start asking for specific transitions while free. If you are using a decent sized arena, you can also begin asking for some canter work. Avoid cantering in small round pens if possible as it is too hard on a baby’s joints.

Another good idea is to introduce your two-year-old to tack. He can learn to wear a saddle and bridle without too much difficulty. Take your time introducing new equipment, and make sure to put it on securely so that it does not slip or irritate him. Free longing and longing in tack is a great way to get him used to working with a saddle and bridle.

Two year olds are full of energy and need to keep their minds busy. Another great way to prepare your horse for being ridden is to teach him how to long line. Long lining is when you use two long lines, or reins, so that you can drive your horse from behind or from the middle of a circle, so that he learns basic rein aids. This will set you well ahead of the game when it comes to backing him when he is three.

Continue taking your youngster for walks around the property and taking him out to shows for visits. These are great ways to accustom him to going new places and to learn to trust you no matter where he is.

It is best to leave backing your horse until he is three years old. Many horses are started under saddle at two, and do fine, but it is easy to go too far too fast when you start that young. If you can’t resist getting on his back, stick to riding at a walk, and keep the sessions short.

Two-year-olds are still very young, and need a lot of turnout and free time. Don’t over work him, or he could become sour. He will have plenty of years of hard work ahead of him. Let him enjoy his youth as much as possible.

I would also like to know what it would cost to add utilities to property. And also what the average cost of horse property is with utilities. One more thing…. Does it matter how many dogs you have on the property being that it isn’t residential?
