Ras el-Barr
Small Egyptian resort town where the Damietta branch of the Nile meets the Mediterranean, Ras el-Barr sits on a triangular peninsula with salt water on one side and fresh water on the other. Its permanent population swells dramatically each summer as Egyptians arrive for the July-to-September beach season, and the town supports a café and restaurant scene well beyond what its year-round size would suggest.
