This very iconic Egyptian beach may not be so well known by travelers from outside of the country. Meaning ‘miracle’ in Arabic, Agiba is a small but very dazzling gem on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, 24-kilometers west of Mersa Matruh. The only way to get to the curved slice of beach is down a rock path that leads from the clifftop above. Once on the sand, it is hard not to be impressed by the translucent color of the water as the sun sparkles on the surface.
This is a popular spot, however, and in the height of summer things get rather busy here with people enjoying days out – but for the rest of the year it’s almost empty. The surrounding sea is very rocky and the waves rolling in from the wide ocean are pretty powerful, but also make for some great surfing opportunities a little further along away from the rocks.
