El Alamein Hotel

Top choice in Mediterranean Coast


This beautiful luxury beach hotel in the middle of the high-end Marassi resort is favoured by wealthy Cairenes. The large, plush rooms have panoramic views over the stunning bay. There are several lovely bars and restaurants; sushi is de rigueur. This is one of the best beaches along this stretch, with white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water.
