The story

El Gouna International Squash Open in El Gouna

A PSA World Tour squash tournament staged on a transparent glass show court beside El Gouna's marina, continuing the Red Sea resort's history of hosting elite squash, including past PSA World Championship finals, against a waterside sunset backdrop rather than an enclosed arena or city sports hall.

El Gouna International Squash Open brings top professional squash to a purpose-built lagoon town on Egypt's Red Sea coast, continuing a tradition that put El Gouna on the sport's world map when the resort hosted PSA World Championship finals in a glass court built out over the marina water.
