Ain Soukhna can be translated as "Hot Spring", located on the gulf of Suez, and stretching for about 60 km on the Red Sea coast.

It is considered the beach for Cairo residents, since it is only one hour away, and a variety of resorts consisting of vacation houses owned by Egyptians as well as hotel accommodation.From Ain Soukhna a 90 min drive, you can visit the monastery of St. Anthony one of the oldest functioning monastries as well as St.Paul.

Traditionally, Ain Soukhna is a purely Egyptian retreat, only recently becoming an international destination. In fact, most of the resort complexes consist mainly of vacation villas owned by Upper and Upper Middle Class Egyptians. However, many though certainly not all of the complexes also provide hotel accommodations. This range from rather quaint facilities for Middle Class Egyptians and probably some Europeans to International Five Star Hotels, which we may expect to see more of for a number of reasons. As an international tourist destination, Ain Soukhna makes considerable sense.
