    Our favourite

    A desert depression with salt lakes, a palm grove, and a mud-brick fortress in the middle.

  • Bir Wahed

    A hot spring in the middle of the dunes, and a salt lake a few hundred metres away.

  • The pool at Safir Marsa Matrouh

    A real pool facing the lagoon, with a separate basin for small children — but you get in by taking a room.
