Things to do in Mersa Matruh

An ancient city on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, Mersa Matruh is ideal for a laid-back trip. Whether you fancy stretching out on one of the white sandy beaches – you’ll have 7 kilometres to choose from – or diving into the town’s deep-rooted history, there’s plenty to get stuck into. Foodies will have lots of options too, with a mix of Egyptian dishes and fresh Mediterranean flavours on the menu – although the seafood takes centre stage here, with dishes like grilled fish, calamari and shrimp on offer. Plus, it’s usually a quieter destination than other tourist spots, so you’ll be able to soak up this place’s history and get some R&R in without having to navigate big crowds.Top three things to do in Mersa Matruh1. Visit Rommel’s Cave MuseumRommel’s Cave Museum, housed in a natural cave, was once the headquarters of German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel during World War II, chosen for its strategic location. The museum showcases Rommel’s belongings, like maps marked with his strategies, artifacts, and personal items, letting you catch a glimpse of the life and tactics of the “Desert Fox.”2. Kick back and relax on the beachMersa Matruh is known for its beaches – whether you’re looking to kick back and relax or make a splash swimming and snorkelling, this place has something for everyone. Snap some pics at Cleopatra’s Beach – legend has it that that Cleopatra herself went for a dip in the natural rock pools here. Or, Rommel Beach is ideal for families, with its shallow waters and calm waves.3. Stroll through the local soukTo truly soak up Egyptian culture, there's nothing quite like stepping into the bustling local souk. Souq Libya in Mersa Matruh is a feast for all the senses – spice-scented stalls line this market, packed with traditional crafts, colourful fabrics, and authentic local goods like Matrouh olives. Whether you’re souvenir shopping or simply savouring the lively atmosphere, this market is a must-visit.
