  2. Zerenike Protectorate

    Stretched along the Mediterranean coast from the eastern edge of Lake Bardawil until about 25km east of Al-Arish is the 220-sq-km Zerenike Protectorate, a haven for migrating birds and a good destination for nature lovers. The entrance to the protectorate, which was established by the Egyptian National Parks Office in 1985, is about 35km east of Al-Arish.
