No summer is truly well-spent without at least one trip to the beach. As Egyptians, we’re blessed with our Mediterranean and Red Sea coasts, equally beautiful despite the annual debate.

So, to help spruce up your annual coastal pilgrimage, here are seven Egyptian brands that make beautiful cover-ups that we hope you’ll love as much as we do.
