Where is the North Coast located?

Egypt's northern coast extends across the country on the Mediterranean Sea shore and is considered one of the longest Mediterranean coastlines in Africa. It can be divided into three sections:

The eastern coast: it includes cities like Rafah, El-Arish, and Port Said governorate that are considered residential cities.
The north delta coast: it includes the cities of Rashid, Damietta, Ras El Bar, and Baltim. This part of the coast is considered the most densely populated as a result of the fertility of the soil in this area and the presence of three large lakes.
The west coast: it’s considered the main destination for summer vacation and is publicly known as the “North Coast.” It extends about 500 kms from Alexandria through El Alamein and Marsa Matrouh up until Salloum.

The old north coast begins from Kilo 21 to Kilo 105 while the new one starts from Kilo 120 onwards and includes New Alamein, Sidi Abd El-Rahman, El Dabaa, Ras El Hikma, Sidi Heneish, and Marsa Matruh. What makes it perfect is consisting of a plain with large green areas and crystal clear seawater.

How’s The Climate of the North Coast?

Being located in northern Africa, the climate is moderate with cool breeze in the summer, and cold to some extent in the winter. It’s most known for being a summer destination, however, the Egyptian government encourages inhabiting the area to handle the expected growth of population.
