Marsa Matruh, Mediterranean coastal city in western Lower Egypt
The white sand beaches of Mersa Matruh extend for seven kilometers along the Mediterranean Sea, with natural rock formations creating protected waters.
The port served as a strategic military base during World War II, with several battles occurring as the Italo-German Panzer Army attempted to capture it.
The ruins of an ancient temple from 1200 BC, dedicated to Ramesses II, stand as evidence of Egyptian architectural practices in this Mediterranean settlement.
The West Delta Bus Station operates three daily connections to Alexandria, while the international airport provides direct access to major Egyptian cities.
The Rommel Cave Museum displays war artifacts and personal items from General Erwin Rommel, housed in the former military command center.
