Latest reviews on Egypt's beaches

Gardenia Beach
6 Ahmad R.

The beach is quite basic, with just a simple sea and a small sandy shore. It's alright when it's empty, but when there are day trips, it tends to get overly crowded and loses its charm.

Rommel Lagoon Beach
6 Sara Johnson

The beach is lined with jagged rocks.

El Nakheel Beach
6 Sherif Eyad

The weather was fantastic, but the beach was extremely dirty and overcrowded.

Mövenpick El Gouna
8 Dr Rajesh Sharma

The rooms are excellent and offer great views. However, the rooms that are far from the main area require electric carts for transportation. The buffet is luxurious, but there are limited options for vegetarians. Despite our requests, they don't seem to understand vegetarian food well. It's not a great place for Indian food. Overall, it's a good experience.

Nirvana Private Beach
8 Sergey "The Maverick" Maleyev

You need to understand that this is not a hotel, but rather a set of apartments. So essentially, you have a two-room flat with a kitchen, but you'll mostly need to cook for yourself. The location is incredibly convenient, right by the seaside, and there are security guards equipped with real guns. It's a great place to stay if you're with family or friends, but if you're alone, you might find it a bit boring.

New Damietta Beach
10 EiKan

Walking on the beach twice a week for 20 minutes gives you a boost of energy. Give it a try!

Please note that lifeguards supervise 186 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

Do you know how many beaches there are in Egypt? In total there are 282 beaches and the most popular is Mahmya Island Beach.
