Marsa Matruh
The town itself is rather untidy but retains a traditional Egyptian ambience with welcoming townsfolk and colourful street markets. Attractions include the ruins of Ramses II Temple and natural rock formation known as Cleopatra’s Bath. During Second World, the German Afrika Korps was centred here and Rommel’s Hideout is now museum. This is resort of character away from main tourism hubs with good quality tourist developments.
There is a threat of terrorism in Egypt; Foreign Office advisory notices offer the latest advice and should be consulted before booking.
The town itself suitable base for overnight stops enroute to Siwa Oasis but more popular for longer stays with the local and Libyan market.
Almaza Beach is a resort area specifically designed for beach holidays and has facilities suitable both for adult parties and family groups. A suitable base from which to take day trips along the coast
