Top Beaches in Alexandria

If you want a quieter spot, head to the far left end of the beach. It gets way less crowded there, and you’ll have more space to relax and enjoy the sun.

I suggest visiting on a weekday rather than the weekend. The beach was packed on Saturday, but way more enjoyable with less crowd on a Friday.

Try to get there by around 9 AM to secure a good spot. By noon, the best areas were completely taken. Plus, it’s nice to enjoy the quieter morning vibes before it gets busy.

Check the weather before you go! I went in early July, and it was super windy. It made it a bit chilly at times, which was unexpected and not ideal for swimming.

I think the beach loungers can be overpriced so look for spots where you can lay your towel without renting one... It's totally doable if you come early

I recommend arriving around 9 AM to grab a good spot and avoid the midday sun. It can get crowded as the day goes on!

My advice is to check the weather beforehand. When I went, it turned out really windy in the afternoon and it wasn't as enjoyable for swimming!

Pro tip: Watch out for the sun around noon! I underestimated it and ended up getting sunburned. Bring a good sunscreen or you're gonna pay for it later!

I suggest visiting Montazah Beach early, like around 8 AM. It gets crowded really quick, and you'll have a better chance to grab a good spot without fighting for space.
