El Mamurah Beach

Don’t forget sunscreen! The sun can be intense, especially around noon. I made the mistake of forgetting it and ended up with a pretty bad sunburn

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.
Abu Dabbab

I suggest getting there by 9 AM to beat the rush. The beach gets crowded quickly, and you'll want a good spot to set up your towels and gear.

Don't forget your water shoes! The entry into the water can be rocky, and I regretted not having mine. They protect your feet and make swimming easier.

If you're planning to snorkel, invest in your own gear. Rentals are available, but having your own mask and snorkel makes it way more comfortable and saves time standing in line.

Make sure to bring a towel and sunscreen; the sun can be intense, and I got a bit burned because I thought I could last hours without it!”]} It helps with the enjoyment of your time in the water and keeps you comfortable while exploring this beautiful spot. Overall, just enjoy your time; there's so much beauty to catch at Abu Dabbab!
Orange Bay

I think you should bring some cash. Not all places accept cards, and you might want to get drinks or souvenirs without hassle. Plus, it’s good to tip the friendly staff.

My advice is to pack some snacks and water. The food options on the island are a bit pricey, and you might want to avoid those long lines during lunch time.

I suggest bringing your own snorkeling gear if you have it, rental prices can be a bit high and the quality isn't always great. Plus, you'll save time looking for a decent set!
I recommend getting there around 9 AM. It’s less crowded and you can snag the best spots on the beach for some sunbathing and swimming before everyone else arrives!
Tolip Beach

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!
Alexandria Corniche

Check out local street food stalls along the Corniche. They offer delicious and budget-friendly snacks. I had the best koshari for just a few pounds!

Bring cash! Some beach access points and small cafes don't accept cards, and you'll want to grab some refreshments while you enjoy the view.
Montazah Beach

I think you should bring your own snacks and drinks to save some cash. The beachside vendors can be pricey, and the quality isn't always guaranteed

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.
The Smokery Beach

My advice is to arrive around 10 AM to grab a good spot under the umbrellas. It gets really busy by noon, and you don't want to end up baking in the sun!

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. The beach bars can be a bit pricey, and you'll save some cash for ice cream later. Trust me, nothing beats enjoying a cold drink while watching the waves.
Stanli Beach

I recommend hitting the beach early around 8 AM to snag a good spot and enjoy the calm before it gets crowded. Trust me, it’s worth it.
White Beach Hurghada

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks instead of buying from the beach vendors. Prices can be a bit steep, and you’ll save some cash for other fun stuff!
