El-Ain El-Sukhna
EL-Ain EL-Sukhna: the Arabic for “hot spring” was named after
the nearby sulphur springs .It is also an ideal site for fishing and
water sports.
Ain El Sukhna is about 140 km east of Cairo, just an hour away
by car. It offers Caireness recreational time, handy respite from
the city’s fast paced life.
The area is 40 km south of the port of Suez and is
administratively part of the Suez Governorate.
Its territory extends along the Red Sea shoreline for about 60 km
from the southern borders of Ras El Adebbya in the north to Ras
El Zaafarana in the south.
Close enough to Cairo for a day-trip; this popular weekend resort
has fine beaches and coves, coral reefs, fishing and water sports.
