Elmontaza beach

Elmontaza is a city beach located in the east of Alexandria, Egypt. The beach is relatively decent - with palms and with good amenities. However, high-rise buildings right near the coastline spoil the impression. To the north, there is a garden with private Aida beach - Montazah. It is much better in all respects and not overdeveloped. These two beaches are separated by a massive fence, and you have to pay entry fee to get into the garden. But it definitely worth every penny, even if you just want to get to the garden's beach. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

In the hotels of Elmontaza beach, rooms' rates starts from US$50 per night. However, this is a rather expensive spot. If you don't have to stay right in the city, it makes sense to think about beaches located to the west of Alexandria.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Alexandria international airport (HBE). Next hire a taxi.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt is a warm period from June to October.
