Ras el-Barr

Ras Elbarr (Egyptian Arabic: رَاس اَلْبَرّ Rās el-Barr, IPA: [ɾɑːs elˈbɑɾː]), which is translated to "Cape of the Land", is a resort city in the Governorate of Damietta, Egypt.

At this juncture, the Damietta Nile arm converges with the Mediterranean Sea, imparting a triangular shape to Ras El Bar.

The climate of Ras El Bar is classified as hot desert (BWh) by Köppen-Geiger system although tempered by the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea.

While Ras El Bar is within the Nile Delta, its sandy soils are due to predominant coastal processes with much of the city lying on the foreshore dune structures.

External: Ras El Bar as a summer resort has a small number of permanent residents, therefore there are few schools and universities.
