The Egyptian Maldives - the perfect getaway on Egypt’s North Coast!
There is another side of Egypt - far from endless desert landscapes and the familiar resorts of the Red Sea. Here, pristine white-sand beaches meet crystal-clear waters in every shade of turquoise, while the Mediterranean creates the feeling of a true island escape
This is Egypt’s North Coast, often referred to as the “Egyptian Maldives” for its dazzling white beaches and breathtaking turquoise sea
For many years, the North Coast remained almost exclusively a summer destination for Egyptians Affluent families spent their holidays here, private villas and exclusive resort communities were built along the shoreline, and relatively few international travellers knew about this beautiful part of the country
Today, the North Coast is gradually opening up to the world, offering a wonderful alternative to Egypt’s traditional Red Sea resorts
The Mediterranean coastline stretches for hundreds of kilometres from Alexandria towards Marsa Matruh
Soft white sand, crystal-clear water, secluded bays, modern resorts and the unique atmosphere of the Egyptian Mediterranean make this region unlike anywhere else in the country
When is the best time to visit?
The season runs throughout the summer and into early autumn, with swimming generally possible from late May until early October
This makes the North Coast an excellent choice for those who love Egypt but prefer to avoid the intense summer heat of the country’s southern regions
The Mediterranean brings a milder climate, refreshing sea breezes and an entirely different feeling of summer
A holiday designed around you
The North Coast offers a wide variety of accommodation, from luxurious contemporary hotels and exclusive resort communities to comfortable apartments and private villas by the sea
You can spend your entire holiday relaxing on pristine beaches, surrounded by sea and tranquillity
Or you can turn your stay into a journey through northern Egypt by combining a beach holiday with a private sightseeing programme
From here, you can travel to Alexandria, a fascinating city where Egyptian, Greek and Mediterranean history intertwine; discover the spectacular beaches and bays of Marsa Matrouh; or venture deep into the Western Desert to the legendary Siwa Oasis, one of Egypt’s most extraordinary and beautiful oases
Discover an Egypt you may have never seen before
The North Coast is difficult to compare with Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh
The landscape is different, the sea is different, the rhythm is different - and so is the atmosphere
Your journey can begin from any city in Egypt
Upon request, we can create a complete tailor-made programme for you, including accommodation, private transfers, your stay on the North Coast and personalised excursions - all designed around your travel dates, budget and individual preferences
