Beyond the beach clubs, Egypt’s North Coast has a collection of activities for those seeking a different pace. If you’re an adventure enthusiast, a history buff, a family looking for engaging programs, or simply in need of some quiet relaxation, these are some alternative activities to do this Summer on the North Coast.
Kayak at Fouka Bay Lagoon
Fouka Bay’s calm waters are ideal for kayaking, suitable if you want to escape the crowds for a bit. Groups like Nile Kayak Club have hosted events here from June to August, making it accessible for both beginners and those looking to paddle professionally.
Surfing at Sidi Abdel Rahman
If you’re into surfing, Surf Camp Egypt runs programs at Sidi Abdel Rahman, a quieter spot compared to the main places. Coaches cater to all levels, and the laid-back vibe here contrasts with the louder beach clubs elsewhere.
Aquafit Sessions at Telal
Keep your fitness routine fresh with aquafit classes at Telal. These water-based workouts are perfect for all skill levels, combining gentle resistance and cardio in the pool. It’s a low-impact way to stay active while enjoying the North Coast’s summer vibe.
Cinema Nights at O Cinema
For a break from the sun, O Cinema inside Al Masa Mall in New Alamein screens recent releases. It’s a simple, air-conditioned option if you want a low-key evening away from the usual nightlife activities.
Historical Tours in El Alamein
El Alamein’s War Museum and Cemetery remain open, so if you’re a history buff, this could be a reflective alternative activity to beachside entertainment. It’s one of the rare spots on the coast where history still takes center stage.
Children’s Summer Camps at Marassi North Coast
For families spending the summer at Marassi, there are great camp options to keep kids engaged beyond the beach. SILC Academy’s camp in Blanca Village combines outdoor adventures like kayaking and raft building with leadership and survival skills. Meanwhile, WellSpring Day Camps at The G Hotel focus on water sports and team games.
Spa Treatments at Al Alamein Hotel
The Al Alamein Hotel spa provides a range of therapeutic treatments, like massages, facials, and body treatments, all administered by skilled Balinese therapists. The spa’s ambiance is complemented by facilities such as steam rooms and Finnish saunas for a full holistic wellness experience.
The beauty of Egypt’s North Coast lies in its ability to cater to a wide spectrum of desires. While the energy of its beach clubs is undeniable, a parallel world of calmer and more focused activities exists for those who seek it.
