Sokhna, Egypt

Sokhna (Ain Sukhna, Ein Soukhna, Ein Sukhna, Ain Sokhna, el-Soukhna) is located on the Egyptian Red Sea Coast, and stretches from just south of Suez down the coast for about sixty kilometers. It consists mostly of a port along with a series of resort complexes, with a few independent restaurants, gas stations and other facilities scattered along the coastal road.

Sokhna is the closest beach area to Cairo, which is approximately two hours drive. It also serves as a convenient base for visiting several other nearby sites. The Suez Canal is just to the north, while a ninety minute drive takes one to the Eastern Desert Monasteries. St. Anthony's in the Eastern Desert is significant as the world's oldest functioning monastery founded in honor of the Saint given credit for founding monasticism. Much of this monastery has recently been restored, and nearby is also the ancient monastery of St. Paul.
