Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive analysis integrated with an efficient GIS national site screening process to create a preliminary geothermal atlas of Egypt, which will support the government and Egypt’s private geothermal energy industry sector in selecting the best locations for prospective geothermal power plants. Our preliminary findings indicate that the best prospective geothermal regions are located along the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez coastlines, where the northern extremity of the East Africa Rift (EAR) is situted. The area of El-Gouna (southern part of Gulf of Suez), is identified as the optimal site for further geothermal exploration and development.
