Most holidaymakers enjoy their time cycling or taking promenades.
In the past, Matrouh was difficult to reach. Only few buses used to go there. Today, there are three EgyptAir flights that operate from Cairo to Matrouh on a weekly basis. Moreover, West Delta as well as Super Jet buses operate several daily trips. Trains also operate from Cairo to Matrouh, but they are not air-conditioned.
