El Hamam is the easternmost city in the Matrouh Governorate of Egypt, on the Mediterranean coast close to the border with the Alexandria Governorate. The ancient town of Cheimo stood in the city's vicinity; the ancient Greek author of the Stadiasmus Maris Magni records Cheimo as a town where rocky shoals were visible. The city is also home to the Mohamed Naguib Military Base, which replaced an older military base built there in 1993. The source read for this entry is brief, so the city's population, climate and economy are not yet recorded here.
