Ras El Bar (راس البر) is where the Nile meets the Mediterranean — long sandy beaches, wind-sculpted dunes, a historic lighthouse and busy fishing boats create varied coastal scenes. Best at sunrise and golden hour for warm light and reflections; sunsets are dramatic over the sea. Summer weekends are very crowded; late autumn–spring offers cooler weather and clearer skies. Easily reached by car from Damietta with roadside parking near main beaches and promenades. No entry fee; respect local dress
