El Mamurah Beach
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.
Abu Dabbab
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!
Bring some snacks and water; the nearby amenities can be a bit pricey. I learned this the hard way when I got super thirsty and had to pay a lot for a bottle!
Catch the sunset around 6:30 PM; the views are absolutely stunning! It's a perfect way to wrap up a day at the beach. Just make sure to find a good spot before it gets crowded
Orange Bay
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
Montazah Beach
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.
