A grilled corn (Dora Meshwiya) vendor walks barefoot along the white sand shoreline of Al-Abyad Beach in Marsa Matruh, pushing a loaded wheelbarrow cart past swimmers in the turquoise Mediterranean Sea. Street vendors selling grilled corn are a familiar part of Egyptian beach culture, particularly in summer along the North Coast. Marsa Matruh is known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and fine white sand, making it one of Egypt's most popular Mediterranean beach destinations.
