MarsaMatruh
8.3
Mid score (6-8)
Mersa Matruh's natural bay has turquoise-over-white-sand water that genuinely earns comparison to the Caribbean — Cleopatra Beach and Agiba Beach are some of the best Mediterranean swimming in Egypt. In summer it's packed with Egyptian domestic tourists; in winter it empties out almost completely. Libyan shoppers cross the border in significant numbers to buy subsidized goods here, which gives it an odd economic character. As a foreigner you're a curiosity but not unwelcome, though the Bedouin-influenced conservatism of the permanent population means social mobility outside tourist hotels stays limited.
