Jaz Almaza Beach Resort

Mediterranean Coast


Serious luxury-resort-seekers should look no further. On a remote stretch of seafront 37km south-east of Marsa Matruh, this resort features a sweep of supreme sand fronting the palm-tree-strewn grounds, fantastic restaurants and all the bells and whistles a sun-worshipper needs. Little ones are well-looked-after here with kids clubs and child-friendly pools.
