Sukari mine

The Sukari mine or Alsukari mine (Arabic: السكري ''Al-Sukkari'', Egyptian pronunciation: ''El-Sokkari'') is a gold mine located in the Nubian Desert/Eastern Desert, 25km from Marsa Alam, on the Red Sea, in Egypt. The Sukari mine is Egypt's first modern gold mine.

Egypt was known in the ancient world as being a source of gold, and one of the earliest available maps shows a gold mine at this location.

Today. Sukari is a combination of an open-pit mine mine and an underground mine. The site is supplied by a 30km-long pipeline bringing water from the Red Sea. Provided by Wikipedia
