Turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and fresh, clean air are best enjoyed between June and September. The 1,050-kilometre coastline is a traditional summer holiday destination for Egyptians, with resorts and gated communities that turn into a summer home away from home for Egyptians during the peak summer holiday months of July and August. This stretch of pristine beach connects Alexandria to Marsa Matrouh, passing through the new city of El Alamein, inviting visitors to explore a myriad of spots to enjoy the dazzling waters and sandy beaches.
