Alamein: 5 hotels to discover a different side of Egypt
Egypt has long been associated with the Red Sea, coral reefs and all-inclusive holidays. But on the Mediterranean coast, the country reveals a different side.
Alamein is one of Egypt’s newest resort destinations – and now you can discover it with Join Up! on direct flights from Riga. Known for its white sandy beaches, turquoise Mediterranean waters and modern hotels, Alamein offers a fresh alternative to Egypt’s more familiar Red Sea resorts. The focus here is on resort relaxation, with beautiful beaches, pools, restaurants, spas and plenty of entertainment – everything you need for an easy, carefree holiday.
For those who would like to combine a beach holiday with sightseeing, Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum – the world’s largest museum dedicated to a single civilisation – are also within reach.
