I have visited numerous beaches, but this one is by far the best in Matruh. The chalets are spacious, convenient, and very close to the beach. The water is lovely and crystal clear, and the staff takes good care of the beach. However, there were some rocks in certain areas inside the water, which can be very annoying for people who like to swim in shallow waters like myself.
- The average cost is 300 EGP per night in mid-August.
- Four chairs and an umbrella cost us 50 EGP. We had an ID, usually provided by the chalet owner.
- DO NOT DRINK TAP WATER. Bring your own or buy mineral water.
- Taxi drivers can be exploitative. If you find a decent driver, ask for their phone number; most of them would happily agree.
- Beware of mosquitoes after sunset.
