For a long time, Egypt\u2019s North Coast on the Mediterranean Sea and its pristine white sand beaches were Egypt\u2019s best kept secret from the rest of the world. And why is that, you may ask? Let us explain.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The North Coast (called Sahel el Shamali<\/em> in Arabic, or Sahel <\/em>for short) wasn\u2019t getting as much international recognition as Egypt\u2019s Red Sea Riviera<\/u><\/a>, which is best known for its resort cities Sharm El Sheikh<\/u><\/a> and Hurghada<\/u><\/a>. This was mainly because the Red Sea area was developed with year-round tourism in mind, while the Mediterranean North Coast started off as mainly summer beach homes for Egyptians. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Egypt has a ton of beaches<\/u><\/a>, but what made the North Coast such a desired place to buy a pricey seaside home is that the beaches there are nothing less than SPECTACULAR. No seriously, just look at the pictures. A common statement you\u2019ll hear from Egyptians at world-famous beaches across the globe is: \u201cThis is nice, but not as nice as our beaches in Sahel<\/em>\u201d. And while we may be biased, we invite you to visit the North Coast yourself and see if we\u2019re wrong!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And the good news is, the North Coast has slowly begun developing over the years to allow for more tourism, more hotels, more restaurants and just easier and better beach access for visitors to Egypt to really experience it for themselves! <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
