Turquoise Mediterranean Sea waves roll onto a sandy beach edged with coastal rocks at Marsa Matruh, one of Egypt's most celebrated coastal cities on the northwestern Mediterranean coast. The sky at sunset displays warm gold and orange tones beneath a layer of scattered clouds, with the clear shallow water reflecting the fading light. Marsa Matruh is known for its exceptionally clear turquoise waters and pristine sandy beaches, making it a prime summer destination on Egypt's north coast.
