Ain Sukhna is a small town located on the Gulf of Suez in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. It is situated about 90 kilometers east of Cairo, and is known for its beautiful beaches and stunning views of the Red Sea.
The town was originally founded in the late 19th century by Bedouin tribes, who moved to the area in search of a better life and to escape the harsh conditions of the desert. The name Ain Sukhna translates to “Sweet Water” in Arabic, and it was an important trading post for Bedouin traders.
In the early 20th century, the area was developed by the Suez Canal Company and the town grew in size and importance. It became a major port for the import and export of goods, and was used by the British to supply their troops during World War II.
Today, Ain Sukhna is a popular tourist destination and is known for its beautiful beaches, coral reefs, and crystal clear waters. It is also home to some of Egypt’s most important archaeological sites, including the ancient temple of Horus, the Temple of Hathor, and the Temple of Isis.
Ain Sukhna is also an important historical site, as it was the site of the Battle of Ain Sukhna in 1967, when the Egyptian army was defeated by the Israeli army in the Six-Day War. This battle marked the end of the Egyptian occupation of the Sinai Peninsula.
In recent years, the town has become an increasingly popular destination for those looking to experience the beauty and culture of Egypt. With its stunning beaches, stunning views, and historical sites, Ain Sukhna is a great place to visit for anyone looking to explore the culture and history of Egypt.
