Jabal shayb al-banat is one of the Red Sea Mountains in the eastern desert in Egypt, located to the west of the city of Hurghada at a latitude of 27 degrees north and a longitude of 33.5 degrees east of the Greenwich line approximately, this mountain is the highest mountain peak in the eastern desert with a height of up to 2185 meters, it is a prominent mass of igneous rocks
The Red Sea mountain range is considered one of the highest mountain peaks in the governorates of Egypt, and it is seen from long distances from different governorates, and among those mountains and mountain peaks are several famous mountains in the north of the governorate and in the south, the highest among them is the peak of Jabal shayb Al-Banat, and it is considered the second after Mount Catherine in Sinai.
The inhabitants of the desert or the tribes of Al-Maaza living in the Hurghada desert called him "shayb al-banat" for the appearance of his peak in the first sunlight as an old man, about 45 kilometers away from the city of Hurghada, specifically in the south-west direction of the city, and the mountain safari workers call him the Everest of the Red Sea.
Bashar Abu Taleb, the captain of the tour guides in the Red Sea, says that Jebel Al-Shayeb is the highest mountain peak in the Red Sea and there are a lot of mountaineering lovers from tourists who organize trips to climb it, and there are a lot of tourists who love that sport, but it is not done in a big way among the various tourists in the governorate.
The captain of the tour guides added that the summit of Jabal Al-Shayeb or Everest of the Red Sea is considered distinctive amid the Red Sea mountain range, and it can be viewed from long distances, as well as viewing the Sinai and Qena mountains from its most expensive peak, where it is 2187 meters long, and is the third in Egypt and Sudan after Mount Catherine and Moses in Sinai.
For his part, Ibrahim Saleh, one of the Sons of Bedouin tribes, said that there are many trips to Jabal Al-Shayeb from tourists through safaris, but few of them can reach the top, but many tribesmen from the summit, stressing that Jabal Al-Shayeb takes about 3 days to climb and descend from it, where it is possible to climb easily while the descent takes a long time, explaining that Jabal Al-Shayeb is characterized by the presence of a lake in the Middle filled with water in times of rain and torrents and can drink from it.
Jabal al-shayb is a guide or sign for the people of the desert to know the way in the desert as well as know the directions well through it, and there are a lot of foreign tourists interested in geology and the terrain of the desert who reach it on various scientific trips.
