Donde las aguas turquesas esconden secretos de guerra y las piedras susurran historias de contrabando
Almaza Bay is a private tourist destination and operates 24 hours a day for guests staying at its hotels. If you are not staying there, access is usually restricted or subject to advance booking at its restaurants; I recommend checking availability directly with the Jaz Almaza Bay hotels before you go.
There is no general admission ticket as there would be for a museum, since access to the beaches and services is included for resort guests. If you visit for the day, the usual 'cost' is the mandatory minimum spend at beach clubs or restaurants that allow outside visitors.
If you are visiting from the city of Marsa Matruh, one full day (from 10:00 to 18:00) is enough to enjoy the beach. However, for a complete experience of relaxation and luxury, the ideal plan is to book at least a weekend (2 or 3 nights).
Although Almaza Bay is a contemporary luxury development, it is located in Marsa Matruh, an area with rich Ptolemaic and Roman history. The region is famous for its turquoise waters, historically known as one of the most beautiful coastal refuges in the Egyptian Mediterranean.
The peak season is July and August, when the atmosphere is lively but very crowded. For perfect weather with more peace and better rates, May, June, September, and October are the winning choice.
Yes. As a modern 5-star resort, most common areas, lobbies, and restaurants have ramps and adapted access. However, moving across the beach sand may require specific assistance, which hotel staff can usually provide.
You are about 37 km from the city of Marsa Matruh, where you should not miss the famous Cleopatra's Bath and the Rommel Cave Museum. They are must-see cultural visits to complement the beach relaxation.
The Egyptian sun is very strong, so bring high-SPF protection, and keep in mind that this is an area far from the city: carry some cash just in case, although cards are accepted. Most importantly, book your return transportation in advance if you do not have your own car.
