El Dabaa

Northern Africa

El Dabaa is a town in the Matrouh Governorate, Egypt, on the north coast, 296 kilometres from Cairo, served by the El Alamain International Airport and with an estimated population of 30,332 in 2023. The El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant is located north east of the town. As of 2020 the plant site was only bare land, with only the first stage of the preliminary engineering survey conducted by 2017, and construction, expected to start in 2020, eventually started in mid-2022. Its climate is hot desert (Köppen BWh), highly moderated by its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea along the northern coast of Egypt.
