Marina El Alamein- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Marina, also known as Marina El Alamein, is an upscale resort town located on Egypt's northern coast, about 300 km from Cairo. The town features an 11 km long beach and is divided into seven sections, offering luxury villas and chalets surrounded by landscaped greenery. In addition to its modern amenities, Marina is situated near the archaeological site of ancient Leukaspis, a Greco-Roman port city that thrived from the 2nd century BC to the 6th century AD before being destroyed by a tsunami. The ruins, including residential areas, baths, and a necropolis, were rediscovered in 1986 and are now part of an open-air museum aimed at promoting tourism to the area.
