How do I get to Sidi Abdel Rahman Beach?

From Cairo, it's approximately 300 kilometers, taking 3-4 hours by car via the desert road. Many visitors drive private vehicles or arrange transportation through resorts. Bus services connect Cairo to North Coast destinations during summer season. Taxis can be arranged from Alexandria or nearby towns.
