In the UK and US they tend to use "dozens" instead of "tens", imho.

Extract from the text I translated last year:
Hurghada was once a fairly small and unimposing fishing village, located next to the Red Sea. Today, the resort town of Hurghada is one of the most visited tourist destination in Egypt, with more than 150 different hotels, many of which line the shoreline. Its waters are clear and calm for most of the year and have become popular for various water-sports, particularly scuba diving and snorkeling. A score of coral islands and reefs are within a few hours’ reach by boat, and provide amazing sites for those underwater enthusiasts.

Sandy beaches and wonderful snorkeling are to be found on the Giftun Island, a short but wonderful boat ride away from Hurghada. As this program is a full day program, a delicious fresh fish lunch is at your service before making our way back to Hurghada; a lovely chance to experience the coral and marine life.

Ready to pass by the highest mountain on the Red Sea coast, Shaieb El Banat, which rises to the heights of 2,187 meters above sea level? In the footprints of the Romans, who also settled in the area, visit the ancient town at mount Claudianus before commencing the camel ride in the desert and finishing your day with a sumptuous BBQ lunch and a hot Bedouin style Tea.

Traslating such texts, give a room for your fantasy! You might translate the text not so literally but creating something exclusive and attractive.

spread along the coast for dozens of kilometers

Несмотря на то, что в русском языке указано прошедшее время "протянулись" в английском предлагаю перевести в настоящем, потому что сомневаюсь, что они раньше были, а теперь исчезли. Когда говорится о ландшафте (лес, и т.д.) то в данном случае используется глагол "spread"
Example sentence:

Of the half-dozen malls spread along the Hotel Zone...

Reference:

Отели не протягиваются, конечно :))

Правильнее было бы написать так, например:

Более двухсот современных отелей расположено на территории, протянувшейся вдоль побережья на десятки километров.

HTH ;)

спасибо! я так и перевела!
