Zawyet El-Auwwama: Mediterranean Coast and Resort Experiences

At Caesar Bay Resort, the Mediterranean coast is close at hand: the resort is on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, and its beach overlooks an island. When choosing a stay in Zawyet El-Auwwama, it is worth considering both the resort’s offerings and Matruh as the wider travel destination. This lets you include resort interests and regional coastal or cultural experiences in your travel plans.

Coast and getting your bearings

Caesar Bay Resort is 85 km from the center of Marsa Matrouh and 90 km from Marsa Matrouh Airport; Alamein Airport is 50 km west of the resort. These distances therefore relate to three different reference points. When choosing accommodation, it helps to first consider which of these matters most to your travel plans.

Wellness and activities for children

The facilities at Caesar Bay Resort’s La Siesta Spa range from a sauna, steam room, and scrub room to an indoor pool with a whirlpool. The spa also offers massages, beauty treatments, and a hair salon. The pool and thermal facilities are complemented by treatments and personal care services, bringing together several ways to unwind in one place.

The Kids Galaxy Club is for children aged 4 to 12 and is supervised by childcare staff. Facilities include a playroom, a children’s pool, and a playground; the program also features sports activities and arts and crafts. The age range gives families a specific reference point when matching their children’s interests with the club’s offerings. The play and creative activities offer a different focus from the spa facilities.

Dining and events

The resort’s Beach Restaurant serves fresh fish and seafood à la carte, prepared right by the sea. This specific fish and seafood offering complements the wellness and children’s facilities.

Caesar Bay Resort also offers venues for meetings, conferences, and weddings: an open beach area and an equipped conference room. The room includes a screen, wireless microphone, overhead projector, whiteboard, and flip chart. For specific event plans, it is advisable to check availability in advance.

Matruh as the wider travel destination

In the wider destination of Matruh, the governorate’s coastline stretches for about 450 kilometers and is shaped by bays. Agiba Beach is a bay between two white cliffs, with crystal-clear Mediterranean waters and caves. At Al-Gharam Beach in Marsa Matrouh, visitors can enjoy walks at sunset. At Cleopatra’s Beach, a glass walkway crosses the rocky coast to a natural saltwater pool. These places offer different coastal experiences: a bay between cliffs, a beach walk at the end of the day, and a walkway across a rocky shore.

The cultural attractions across the wider destination of Matruh also offer a variety of experiences. The exhibitions at the Marsa Matrouh Museum cover fishing, trade, astronomy, science, and philosophy. The Bedouin Heritage Museum at the Marsa Matrouh Library presents traditional Bedouin and Siwan culture. In Siwa, the village of Shali features buildings made of salt-laden mud using a unique building method, dating from the sixth century of the Hijra, or the twelfth century AD. Restoration of the village is complete, making its ruins suitable for a visit. The regional selection thus ranges from coastal landscapes to museums and historic architecture.
