The Mediterranean coast, 250 km from Cairo, corresponds to the northern part of Egypt, where mass tourism has not yet arrived. This is where we find Borg El Arab, a town halfway between El Alamein and Alexandria (both well-known in history) characterized by residential areas and white sandy beaches with crystal clear waters. The Caribbean, a stone's throw from Europe.
Traditionally, the Mediterranean coast of Egypt was the summer resort of Egyptians, while the Red Sea resorts were very much oriented towards foreign travelers. And for the most part, this is still the case, although less and less. Especially because the north coast is undergoing major development in terms of infrastructure and resorts. The international airport of Borg El Arab has given a boost to the area, as it not only serves the city of Alexandria, but also the entire coast to the west. And the construction of modern marinas has multiplied its attractiveness. This makes many tourists and travel agencies focus on Egypt's Mediterranean coast.
