Name of Town/Article[edit]

Why is this page titled Mersa Matruh when every reference in the article calls the town "Marsa Matrouh"?Scartboy (talk) 14:52, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article should be consistent with the current title. Alternative spellings should be mentioned in the lead, if they are common. If the current title is not the most commonly used name, then the article should be moved. I checked Google Books to try to get some idea of the common English name. Here are the searches and the results:
- "mersa matruh" egypt – About About 57,500 results
- "marsa matruh" egypt – About 8,650 results
- "marsa matrouh" egypt – About 7,960 results

Based on these results, the current title would appear to be the most commonly used name. --Robert.Allen (talk) 20:34, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Climate[edit]

The average monthly temperatures were extremely bizarre for Mersa Matruh, so I checked the source and found very different values and they looked quite impossible, so I searched for another source after comparing it with two others ([1], [2]) to confirm its sensibility. Accordingly, that was my edit. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 19:17, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Soviet naval facility[edit]

Can anyone add any information on the naval facility (or whatever the correct term is) that the Soviets had at Mersa Matruh during the Cold War? All I know is that they came in during Nasser's regime and left in 1977.92.81.224.216 (talk)

Another main beach[edit]

The most famous, the most beautiful is Cleopatra Beach with an unbelievably fine, very white sand. It should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.104.90.126 (talk) 03:44, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
