Traditionally an exclusive resort where Cairo and Alexandria elite vacations.  Known as the 

Egyptian St-Tropez, Agami today also caters to the middle and working class.  The resort village 

was founded in the 1950's, but their are few structures remaining from this period. And while most 

of the housing in the area is simple, there are exceptions, including the Villa Lashin, built in 1962 by 

architect Ali Azzam and the Beit el-Halawa built by Abd el-Wahid el-Wakil. Near here, you will 

also find the resort villages of Hannoville and Sidi Kheir, which are also popular summer retreats.  

Historically, there is a small French fort built during French occupation of Egypt.
