The stunning Rommel Bridge connects the eastern and western flanks of Mersa Matruh Bay, offering majestic views of the two slits. The bridge leads to the well-known Rommel Beach, to which hundreds of thousands of locals and tourists come every year to enjoy the enchanting beauty of nature. The beach is characterized by its soft white sand, and its clear waters with gradient colors from white to turquoise. The beach and bridge were named "Rommel" because it was the place where the Nazi German Rommel commanded his operations in World War II.
