Alexandria’s 65 beaches attracted one million visitors from different areas during Eid al-Adha. This announcement was made by the Central Administration for Tourism and Resorts in Alexandria. The beaches stretch from Abu Qir to Abu Talat, covering a wide area in the city. The influx of visitors came from various governorates, indicating the popularity of Alexandria as a holiday destination.

During the Eid holiday, the beaches in Alexandria had varying occupancy rates. On the first day, it was just 25 percent, but it increased to over 75 percent on the second day. On the third and fourth days, the beaches reached full capacity at 100 percent.
