Would you believe this cool environment with calm turquoise waters and soft sand can be found somewhere in Egypt? It’s Mersa Matruh or Marsa Matruh, a Mediterranean haven and an Egyptian tourist sanctuary.

While Mersa Matruh has a hot desert climate, the blowing winds from the Mediterranean Sea moderate the temperature, making it a perfect escape from the smouldering desert heat.
