Holiday in El Alamein and Marsa Matruh with a Charter Flight from Sofia

📍 Marsa Matruh, Egypt 🌙 7 nights
Description

Today many travellers visit El Alamein - a place they call “the Egyptian Maldives”. The comparison is due to its interesting geographical position and a landscape that is unique for Egypt. A wonderful place with renowned hotels and scenery that is not typical of most of the country, but strikingly resembles famous tropical resorts - El Alamein in Egypt attracts travellers from all over the world. We are pleased to offer direct charter flights from Sofia to El Alamein.

Why El Alamein is “the Egyptian Maldives”
The main reason is the colour and clarity of the sea, which strongly resembles the waters of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. El Alamein lies in the north of Egypt, on the Mediterranean coast, and this is what sets it apart from the other resorts. Here the water is perfectly clean and clear, with visibility of many metres - which is exactly what brings to mind the lagoons of the Maldives. Travellers choose trips to El Alamein, Egypt, from Sofia to see all the advantages of the local waters for themselves.

Another aspect is the character of the coastline. Unlike many other Egyptian resorts, where the beaches have a yellowish tint, the coast of El Alamein is famous for its wide stretches of white, fine and soft sand. The combination of such sand with crystal-clear water is the classic, world-famous image of a tropical paradise associated with the Maldives and the Seychelles. To see all this, a trip to El Alamein, Egypt, is well worth it, because the place really is unique.

The weather in El Alamein

The year here is divided into several periods - a long, hot summer, a short, mild winter, autumn and spring. The warm period lasts from May to September, with temperatures reaching 30 degrees, and sometimes higher in July and August. The heat is easy to bear thanks to the constant fresh breeze, which brings the much-desired coolness, and trips to El Alamein are very popular in this period. There is practically no rain, and dry weather lasts for months. At this time the sea warms up to 27 degrees, making it ideal for a beach holiday.

With the arrival of autumn the summer heat eases and the temperature is around +26 degrees. The sea gradually starts to cool but is still pleasant for swimming. This is an excellent season for those who combine a beach holiday with excursions to the war memorials.

Winter is cooler, especially at night - 12 degrees. You can choose trips to El Alamein, Egypt, in this period, but bear in mind that the weather is changeable and there are cloudy days. At this time of year, excursions and walks are the better choice.

In spring everything wakes up and the air gets warmer every day, but a hot, dry wind begins to blow. So the best seasons to visit are summer and autumn. The first offers a carefree beach holiday, and the second an ideal balance between time on the beach and excursions to the memorials. Travellers usually choose trips to El Alamein in these periods.

Excursions from El Alamein

The nearest city to El Alamein is Alexandria, about 1.5 hours away by road. Here it is worth seeing the citadel, the amphitheatre, the Montaza and Ras el-Tin palaces, and visiting the history museum and the Museum of Fine Arts. Alexandria is a modern Egyptian city with many shopping centres, bars, restaurants and nightclubs.

The excursion to Cairo will appeal more to lovers of antiquity. People come here to see the pyramids of Giza, the symbol of Egypt. If you are lucky enough to be here in the evening, you can watch the sound and light show at the pyramids and see them in a completely different light. In Cairo itself it is worth visiting the colourful oriental bazaar, whose exotic charm comes from its location almost in the very heart of the medieval Medina.
