About North Coast

Egypt’s favourite summer escape: white sandy beaches and turquoise water stretching from west of Alexandria to Marsa Matruh.

The North Coast runs for hundreds of kilometres along the Mediterranean and comes alive every summer with its resorts and wide beaches.

In Marsa Matruh you will find some of Egypt’s most beautiful beaches, such as Agiba with its cliffs and Cleopatra Beach with its famous rock formations. In El Alamein, war cemeteries and museums tell the story of the Second World War.

The water is cooler and the waves livelier than on the Red Sea, so please follow the swimming guidance on each beach.

Highlights

  • Agiba beach
  • Cleopatra Beach and Cleopatra’s Bath
  • El Alamein memorials and museum
  • Summer atmosphere in the resort villages
