Abstract

Egyptian government is developing the beaches of El-Ain El-Sukhna, on the Gulf of Suez through the investment of businessmen. The interest of the businessmen who want to satisfy the recreation-seekers usually should take into account environment sustainability. This research investigates the current situation depending on both preliminary survey of one of the sites in El-Ain El-Sukhna and numerical analysis technique. Then, a comprehensive development project is suggested to maintain environmental friendly sustainable development of the area. Simulations show the usefulness of using simple numerical models to provide at least, in this study, qualitative assessment of beach protection and development.
