The Mediterranean Coast of Egypt
Hotels of Porto Marina, one of Egypt's famous local tourist destinations

The Northern Coast of Egypt (Arabic: الساحل الشمالي, El Sahel El Shamally, North Coast, commonly shortened to الساحل "El Sahel", "The Coast", "The Egyptian Coast") extends for about 1,050 km (650 mi) along the Mediterranean Sea, it covers entirely the northern territory of Egypt. It is one of the longest Mediterranean coastlines, and is popularly known of its snow-white sand beaches and crystal clear water.[1]

The city of Alexandria lies at the center of Egypt's Mediterranean coastline in Lower Egypt (northern Egypt), as chosen by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BCE. The North Coast has been the hub of sea travel between the Mediterranean Sea and the Nile Delta for over 2,300 years.[2] During summer, Egyptians usually travel to the North Coast to flee heat in other towns and cities in Egypt. They stay in villages and resorts located in Sidi Abdel Rahman, El Alamein, and Ras El Hekma, amongst other areas.
