Shalateen (Arabic: شلاتين‏ Šalatayn, Egyptian Arabic: [ʃælæˈtiːn]; also spelled Shalatin and Shalatayn) is the biggest town in the Halaib Triangle, a disputed territory claimed by Egypt. It is 520 km (320 mi) south of Hurghada and is controlled as the administrative center (markaz) of all Egyptian territory up to the border between Egypt and Sudan, including the villages of: Abu Ramad, 125 km (78 mi) to the southeast; Halaib, 165 km (103 mi) to the southeast; Ras Hadarba 200 km (120 mi) to the southeast. Ras Hadarba or Cape Hadarba lies on the shores of the Red Sea to the southeast of the city of Halayib and to the east of mount Hadarba from which it takes its name. The village of Ras Hadarba lies just north of the borders between Egypt and the Sudan which run along the 22 degree north parallel of latitude; Marsa Hameera, 40 km (25 mi) to the north; and Abrak, 90 km (56 mi) to the west. The first three of the above towns (Abu Ramad, Halayib and Ras Hadarba) are located within the disputed Hala'ib Triangle. The population of Shalateen is estimated at 23,554 people and is inhabited by the Bisharin (Al Bishareya) and Ababda (Al Ababda) sub tribes of the Beja people.
