Which national park located in the remote southeastern corner of Egypt features a unique Afro-montane ecosystem, dense acacia woodlands, and mist-fed vegetation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Gebel Elba National Park
- Step 1: Gebel Elba National Park, located in the Hala'ib Triangle in southeastern Egypt, rises to 1,435 meters.
- Step 2: Its proximity to the Red Sea captures maritime moisture and sea mists (forming a 'fog oasis'), supporting unique Afro-montane biodiversity found nowhere else in Egypt.
Answer
Gebel Elba National Park.
Why not the others: 'Wadi Al-Hitan' is in Faiyum; 'Wadi El-Rayan' is a wetland reserve in Faiyum; 'Lake Burullus' is in the Mediterranean Delta.
