Egypt has long been known for its historical attractions, but its beaches are just as remarkable. Known for its clear waters and diverse marine life, Egypt is a top choice for beach vacations. Below are some of the best beach holidays in Egypt.

Zafarana Beach is a hidden gem in Egypt. Located a few hours’ drive from Cairo, it is ideal for a day trip. With its crystal-clear waters and soft sand, it is perfect for snorkeling- the coral reef is accessed from the waters close to shore. The beach has all basic amenities including restrooms, showers, and food stalls.

El Gouna is a luxury beach resort that is famous for water sports. Kiteboarding, windsurfing, and paddleboarding are just a few of the water activities available in the turquoise waters of the Red Sea. Snorkeling enthusiasts can also enjoy the vibrant fish-filled waters. The beach also has a variety of bars, cafes and restaurants for visitors to relax and unwind.

Marsa Alam is an all-in-one beach experience that has lots to offer. The beach is stunning with opportunities for snorkeling, diving and horse, camel, and quad biking on the nearby desert trails. Staying at the eco-luxury resort located steps away from the beach is the highlight of the beach experience.
