Geography
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 ({{convert|1435|m|ft|0|disp=or|abbr=on}}), Mount Shellal ({{convert|1409|m|ft|0|disp=or|abbr=on}}), Mount Shendib ({{convert|1911|m|ft|0|disp=or|abbr=on}}) and Mount Shendodai ({{convert|1526|m|ft|0|disp=or|abbr=on}}).
