Sidi Abdel Rahman stands approximately 23 km / 14 miles west of El Alamein and is home to a selection of stunning beaches, next to the sparkling and rather enticing waters of the Mediterranean.

El Alamein Attractions Nearby: Marsa Matruh - El Alamein, Egypt, EG
West of both El Alamein and Sidi Abdel Rahman, the beautiful waterfront town of Marsa Matruh is worth searching out and is centred around a bay of crystal-clear blue water. With a number of stunning white, sandy beaches and several waterfront attractions, Marsa Matruh becomes extremely busy during the hot summer months and rather empty outside of this period, when hotel rates plummet.
