Mid-century glamor meets modern luxury at Al Alamein Hotel, a beachfront paradise along Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
White sands curve around Sidi Abdel Rahman Bay outside, and Marassi's marina and golf course are minutes away.
The rooms
Rooms use whitewashed timber and art deco details. Right on the sand, chalets open directly onto the water.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool looks straight across the bay, flanked by navy-striped loungers and fringed parasols.
The spa
Balinese therapists give marine body wraps and facials. A slatted-screen relaxation lounge and saunas wait nearby.
At the table
B’haar prepares Mediterranean seafood on an open-air beachfront terrace, and Bay.Root Express serves Lebanese street food by the sand.
How it began
Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and classic film stars summered here following its 1960 debut on the North Coast.
