Halaib

Halaib (Arabic: حلايب, romanizedḤalāyib [ħæˈlæːjeb]) is a Red Sea port and town located in the Halaib Triangle, a disputed area between Egypt and Sudan.

It is about 20 km (12 mi) southeast of the ruins of the medieval port ʽAydhab.

Alternative spellings for the name include Halayeb, Hala'ib, and Halayib.

In the Halaib region, Afrotropical elements reach their northernmost limits at Gabal Elba, making it a unique region among the regions dominating North African ecosystems. There is also dense cover of acacias, mangroves and other shrubs, in addition to endemic species of plants such as Biscutella elbensis.

The highest peaks in the area are Mount Elba (1,435 m or 4,708 ft), Mount Shellal (1,409 m or 4,623 ft), Mount Shendib (1,911 m or 6,270 ft) and Mount Shendodai (1,526 m or 5,007 ft).
