The North African nation might be best known for being home to one of the world’s seven wonders, but it’s also home to some of the most incredible beaches in the world. After all, Egypt’s coast runs across both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy – and the tourist-packed beaches of Sharm El Sheikh are not included.

If making plans for your spring getaways, you might want to consider these spots.
