Various reasons. It's relatively close to most of the tourist attractions if you stay at Sharm el-Sheikh (one hour flight to Giza for the pyramids, an hour or so to Cairo, a few hours drive to Luxor, a few more to Abu-Simbel) but it's far enough away from Cario to be enjoyable. El Gouna is further away and has less tourist attractions but is much less crowded and touristy kitch than Sharm. However, Sharm el-Sheikh has much better diving and other touristy things, like bigger souks, better fishing, etc... However to get there you have to go via Hourgada, which takes more time (as El Gouna is only 45mn drive or so from the Hourgada airport). Also, Egypt holds some reasonably cheap holidays if you go at the right time. There are also some who go to the Red Sea for religious reasons, wanting to retrace Moses' footsteps.
