Luxury holidays in North Coast

When to go

Cooler than its Red Sea counterpart, the North Coast has pleasant temperatures throughout the summer season, with highs of 31°C and sea temperatures of 27°C during August. While the winters aren’t freezing, they may be a little too chilly for sea-swimming.

Getting there

• Planes

  Fly direct into Cairo Airport, where you can either rent a car or hop in a taxi for around three hours to the North Coast, just southwest of Alexandria.

• Automobiles

  If you’re prepared to encounter some, let’s say, challenging drivers, then renting a car can be a great way to explore the unspoilt beauty of this pristine coastline. Although, taxis are probably a less stressful (and cheaper) option for your trip.
