Eastern Desert
 |
The Eastern Desert is the desert east of the river Nile, between the Nile and the Red Sea. It extends from Egypt in the north to Eritrea in the south, and also comprises parts of Sudan and Ethiopia. Its main geographic features are the western Red Sea coastline (the "Red Sea Riviera") and the Eastern Desert mountain range that runs along the coast, the highest peak of which is Shaiyb al-Banat. Other notable ecological areas are Wadi Gamal National Park and Gebel Elba. The Eastern Desert is a popular setting for safaris and other excursions.
