TL;DR

There are paid public beaches accessible from Cairo, including one with a long, shallow entry into the sea similar to the Sea of Azov. Farsha Beach is another paid option worth considering.

Avoid booking excursions directly on the beach from local touts — some overcharge, quoting one price upfront and then demanding extra payment on the spot.

At two of the paid beaches, access to the water is via a staircase — there is no ramp for visitors with limited mobility.
