The Allure of Egypt's North Coast
With its soft sands and bright blue waters, the North Coast has some of Egypt’s most breathtaking beaches. Often called the “Maldives of Egypt,” the North Coast has the bright turquoise waters and white sand that many don’t expect to find in the land of mosques and pyramids. Though the North Coast isn’t as popular with tourists as the resorts along the Red Sea (there’s no diving on the North Coast, for one), it’s more known for local summer homes than international tourism.
The North Coast has lots of gorgeous beaches where you can enjoy an effortless summer getaway - whether you’re looking for nightlife, a family vacation or a quiet getaway. And that also means exclusive parties, high-end boutiques and the see-and-be-seen crowd flocking in.
