Ain Sukhna, the Arabic
for "hot spring", was named after the nearby
sulfur springs. The springs originate at Gebel
Ataka, the northern most mountain in the Eastern
Desert. Close enough to Cairo for a day-trip, this
popular weekend resort has fine beaches, coral
reefs, fishing and water sports. It is located
about 55 kilometers (34 miles) south of Suez, and
is the nearest bathing resort to Cairo. Some
hotels in Ain Sukhna are the best on the Red Sea.
