What to expect from Marsa Matruh.
A port city on Egypt’s western coast, halfway between Alexandria and the border. In Antiquity it was called Paraetonium and was a transit port for Egyptian grain bound for Rome. It has a bay with calm water and white‑sand beaches, like Agiba to the west, popular with Egyptian holidaymakers in summer, and is the starting point of the road to Siwa.
