Matruh blue sea

The white cliffs of Ageeba Beach contrast sharply with the crystal clear waters, and it was named one of the most beautiful beaches in the world by National Geographic. During World War II, this place was a strategic location for fierce battles between the Allies and the Axis powers. The El Alamein Battle Museum still displays this iron-blooded history. The unique karst landforms have created the fantastic natural wonders of "Crystal Mountain" and "Roman Baths", and the waves echo in the caves like a symphony. Local fishermen still use traditional methods to catch tuna and sardines, and the dock is filled with the aroma of grilled seafood. Unlike the hustle and bustle of the Red Sea resort, Matrouh maintains the tranquility of a fishing village. When the sunset dyes the 14th-century Turkish castle into amber, time seems to freeze here. As an important port during the Alexander and Ptolemaic dynasties, this land perfectly blends the wildness of North Africa with the tenderness of the Mediterranean, becoming a paradise that explorers and hermits yearn for.
