  • Few travellers make a stop in the Mediterranean city of Marsa Matruh on their way through Egypt. Maybe that's why part of the city is completely abandoned.

    Ah, wonderful Egypt. Go there every year, somtimes twice a year. Its great even me as a German can hardly adapt to the hot climate. People in general are very friendly.

    You should see it in summer !! Barely can see the sand on the beach with 40 km stalled road from Alexandria entering Matrouh , you're there in the best time of the year , I wish I was there and met you to show you some off road fantastic places , true it's not touristic to fireigners but it's one of the most popular and affordable summer destinations for Egyptians .

    The part next to the beach is not bad, but the city and facilities are desperate. This year, for the first time, our travel agencies here in Serbia are taking a hotel chain from Dubai to this place. But I'm not sure if that city is the right choice.

    As someone who would love to do this someday, Im curious as to what your budget was. Was it broken down per day for 30 days?

    • @benbrazyoutube
      @benbrazyoutube  2 роки тому

      Hi Michael, thanks for asking! I wasn't following any particular budget for this trip, but I generally travel quite frugally. In total I averaged close to US$15 per day, and that includes a handful of more expensive activities. Accommodation, transportation and food are all inexpensive in Egypt. I also occasionally wild-camped for free which saved a bit of money.
