Rommel Beach
شاطئ روميل
A calm beach in the bay just east of town, with shallow, gentle waves and many family visitors. Legend says Rommel once swam here.
The beach lies on the inner side of the bay, near the Rommel Cave Museum. Sheltered by the peninsula and reefs, the sea here is calm and fairly shallow, which suits children and less confident swimmers. In summer there are parasols and snack stalls, and many Egyptian families come here, so it gets crowded on weekends and public holidays. It is about a 10-minute taxi ride from the city centre and can be combined with a visit to the cave museum.
