Marina is a tourist village located in the
Northern Coast which stretches 525 Kilometers along the Mediterranean coast of
Egypt east to Sallum on the Libyan border. There are actually a number of
tourist villages along the northern coast, and more planned, though Marina has
earned the reputation of being one of the most exclusive, traditionally
catering to many of Egypt\\\'s rich and elite. It has been, in fact, considered
mostly exclusively Egyptian, though that attitude seems to be opening up just a
bit, and some tour operators rent villas in the area. These areas along Egypt\\\'s
north coast may very well become more popular with foreign tourists as nearby
Alexandria seems to be gaining considerable ground in the tourist market.
Marina is very close to Alexandria, on the beach between that city and
Al-Alemein.
The
Marina resort itself has a 750 meters long beach and its downstream surface is
800 meters. Its total surface is about 143 feddans. Many service units are
constructed on the beach. The housing unit consists of almost 34 villas, 264
flats and 672 cabins as well as a center for administrative, commercial,
medical, religious as well as entertainment services, all of which can be found
in the middle of the village
