Your Guide to Summer Stays on Egypt's North Coast

CairoScene7 days ago
The Egyptian summer season doesn't begin with a date—it begins with a migration. As city thermometers start their slow creep upward, Sahel —Egypt's North Coast—pulls people in like a gravitational force.
Once sleepy and strictly seasonal, the coast has become the country's ultimate warm-weather playground, where Mediterranean blues meet high-design stays, beach clubs pulse through golden hour, and everyone seems to arrive with a better tan, a curated playlist, and maybe even a new persona.
And each year, Sahel seems to level up. The resorts get sleeker, the service smoother, and the hotels? They're no longer just a place to crash after the sun—now, they're half the reason you came.
From adult-only hideouts in Hacienda White to sprawling, all-inclusive escapes in Ghazala Bay, the North Coast has evolved into a mosaic of mood-driven destinations, each with its own aesthetic, attitude, and guest list.
So, whether you're here for the scene or the seclusion, these are the sexiest stays turning up the heat in Sahel this summer.
Address Marassi Beach Resort – Marassi
This sleek beachfront escape in the heart of Marassi comes with six dining concepts, a private beach club with 69 cabanas, four pools, and a spa you'll struggle to leave. With 118 rooms and 169 serviced apartments, Address brings city-calibre luxury to the coast—designed for those who want their Sahel with a side of sophistication.
Vida Marina Resort – Marassi
Vida Marina brings Dubai's urban-cool energy to Egypt's North Coast, with its clean architecture, Marina-facing pool, and waterfront promenade. Just steps from the buzz of Marassi's restaurants and boutiques, the resort is sleek but unpretentious—where sunset strolls, minimalist suites, and curated beach lounging all come with a modern edge.
Rixos Premium Alamein Resort – Ghazala Bay
All-inclusive gets a glow-up at this Turkish-run five-star. From sprawling buffets to hammams and late-night entertainment, Rixos is built for high-energy families, big friend groups, and guests who like everything sorted before check-in. Beachfront access and a packed kids' club schedule mean no one's ever bored—no matter their age.
G Hotel – Seashell
Bold, moody, and full of edge, G Hotel is where Sahel's social set checks in before heading out. Set in the heart of Seashell, the hotel feels more like a members-only club—with lagoon-facing villas, private pools, jacuzzis, in-villa spas, butler service on call, and a soundtrack that doesn't clock out.
The Alamein Hotel – Marassi
A North Coast icon reimagined, The Alamein Hotel blends retro glamour with fresh Mediterranean ease. Set along the quiet curve of Sidi Abdelrahman Bay, the hotel's palm-framed pool, breezy white interiors, and history-steeped corridors make it a standout for those who want a slice of classic Sahel, elevated with a modern, minimalist edge.
The Red – Hacienda Red
Intimate, quiet, and stripped of anything unnecessary, The Red is a boutique retreat made for slow days and sensory detail. Offering intimate apartment-style stays—with a balcony and flat-screen TV—The Red is all about understated comfort, where the playlist's quiet, the palette's clean, and the WiFi works just enough.
Casa Cook – Hacienda White
Known for its muted palettes, slow-living ethos, and barefoot-luxury vibes, Casa Cook brings its signature adult-only style to Sahel, delivering warm minimalism and just the right amount of indulgence. Expect woven textures, natural stone, private terraces, poolside daybeds, and a breezy restaurant serving elevated Mediterranean fare.
Sakhra Hotel & Spa – Almaza Bay
Carved into the limestone hills above Almaza Bay, Sakhra is all about grounded luxury—local stone, mashrabiya screens, and villas that come with private pools and open-air showers facing the sea. With five pools, a hammam-equipped spa, and five dining concepts ranging from Japanese to beachside barefoot bites, Sakhra is a retreat for those who want their summer stay to feel curated, quiet, and deeply connected to place.
Marmarica Boutique Cabanas – Almaza Bay
A design-forward newcomer perched on the golden curve of Almaza Bay, Marmarica is all about refined simplicity. Each of its beachside cabanas blends natural textures, desert tones, and just enough luxury to feel like a secret. With a private pool, Mediterranean bites on deck, and a vibe that whispers not shouts, it's a retreat for the barefoot aesthetes.
Le Sidi – Hacienda Bay
A boutique bolthole for lovers of soft linens, warm light, and slow afternoons, Le Sidi offers direct lagoon access and uninterrupted ocean views. With curated interiors that nod to North African craftsmanship and a courtyard pool made for lounging, this hideaway is a love letter to understated elegance.
Caesar Bay Resort – Caesar Bay
Rugged and serene, Caesar Bay stretches along one of the North Coast's less-touched shorelines. Think breezy villas, direct sea access, and swaying palms set to a soundtrack of silence. It's the kind of place where morning swims replace alarms and the horizon is your only agenda.
JAZ Oriental Resort – Almaza Bay
A cornerstone of Almaza Bay's coastal rise, JAZ Oriental blends time-tested resort comfort with beachside charm. With airy rooms, lush gardens, multiple pools, and family-friendly perks, it's a crowd-pleasing favorite for those who want their comforts dialed up and logistics down to a science.

With 61 rooms and suites, a private beach, spa, sauna, gym, and kids' zone, it stands out as a refined yet relaxed retreat for multigenerational escapes. Water‑sport options, beachside eats, and massage services complete the laid‑back luxury—think barefoot chic with beachfront charm.

Egypt Operates Second Special Train for Sudanese Voluntary Return

According to the United Nations, over 1.3 million Sudanese have returned to their areas of origin since the start of the conflict in Sudan. Jul 28, 2025 National Railways Authority has announced the operation of a second special train to facilitate the voluntary return of Sudanese citizens currently residing in Egypt, following the completed operations of their first special train earlier this month. The move comes in response to the ongoing conflict in Sudan, which has displaced millions since April 2023. Train number 1940 departed from Cairo Station on Monday, July 28th, and then arrived at High Dam Station in Aswan on the same day. From there, returnees are expected to continue their journey into Sudan via river or overland routes. The special service includes an additional baggage carriage and will run a return trip from Aswan to Cairo as train number 1945, scheduled to depart at 8:30 PM on Tuesday, July 29th. Egyptian authorities have waived travel penalties and are providing logistical support for Sudanese nationals in coordination with the voluntary return committee. Egypt currently hosts more than 5.5 million Sudanese nationals, and is the largest host country for Sudanese refugees. According to the United Nations, over 1.3 million Sudanese have returned to their areas of origin since the start of the conflict, including approximately 320,000 returning from Egypt and South Sudan. However, many parts of Sudan remain insecure, and returns continue to be undertaken on a voluntary basis.

Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Meets Over 20 New Egyptian Ambassadors and Consuls Before Their Overseas Appointments

Ali abo deshish In a broad meeting held at the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration in Egypt's New Administrative Capital, Mr. Sherif Fathy, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, met with more than 20 newly appointed ambassadors and consuls general who are set to represent Egypt abroad. This meeting comes within the framework of ongoing coordination and cooperation between the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration. At the outset, Minister Sherif Fathy welcomed the diplomats, wishing them success in their new assignments. He emphasized the critical role they play in promoting Egyptian tourism abroad and in presenting a modern and comprehensive image of Egypt that reflects both its ancient civilization and its contemporary development. He stressed the importance of highlighting Egypt's rich tourism assets and the diversity and uniqueness of its tourism products and experiences, in a way that enhances Egypt's global tourism position and attracts more tourists and investments. The Minister presented the vision and mission of the Ministry, along with the main pillars of its current strategy, which focuses on positioning Egypt as the world's leading destination in terms of the variety of tourism products it offers—from cultural, beach, and spiritual tourism to desert adventures and more. He further explained that the Ministry's strategy aims to achieve sustainable economic security through tourism, by generating long-term returns that positively impact local communities surrounding heritage and tourism sites. This, in turn, fosters a culture of preservation and care for these sites. Minister Fathy also spoke about the Ministry's commitment to regularly updating its strategies and action plans in response to current and future developments, based on comprehensive analyses and market forecasts, especially in light of global political and economic changes. He underscored that training, qualification, and development of human capital—particularly young, talented professionals with specialized skills—is a top priority for the Ministry. Investing in human resources is a cornerstone of the Ministry's vision for sustainable sectoral growth. The Minister highlighted Egypt's keenness to engage in international knowledge exchange in the fields of tourism and antiquities, including the organization of professional joint workshops. He referenced a recent workshop held on the sidelines of the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) in Dubai, which brought together Egyptian and Bahraini travel companies to lay the groundwork for future cooperation. He also reviewed the ongoing service development project at the Giza Pyramids area, part of the Ministry's broader efforts to enhance the visitor experience at Egyptian museums and archaeological sites. He pointed to the Ministry's collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and relevant animal welfare NGOs to ensure the well-being of horses, camels, and other animals at archaeological areas, especially in Giza. Minister Fathy reaffirmed the Egyptian government's full commitment to preserving the country's heritage and history, while also exploring ways to maximize the economic benefits of antiquities without compromising their cultural value or harming the surrounding environment. He noted the Ministry is currently working with UNESCO on several major initiatives and projects. He also stressed Egypt's unwavering determination—through continued cooperation between the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration—to repatriate Egyptian antiquities that were illegally taken abroad. The Minister discussed the significant role that temporary exhibitions of Egyptian antiquities held abroad play in promoting Egypt's tourism sector and showcasing its diverse offerings. He referred to the recent approval by the Supreme Council of Antiquities to host two temporary exhibitions in Italy and Hong Kong, which will serve as powerful tools for destination marketing in those countries. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Minister responded to several questions and inquiries from the diplomats regarding the tourism and antiquities sectors, and listened attentively to their suggestions and ideas. Also attending the meeting was Eng. Ahmed Youssef, Assistant Minister for Strategic Affairs and Acting CEO of the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
