Ras El Bar (Egyptian Arabic: راس البر Rās el-Barr , IPA: [ɾɑːs elˈbɑɾ]), which means "head of land", is a resort city in the Governorate of Damietta, in northeast Egypt. It is located at Mediterranean Sea, at the mouth of the Damietta river, a distributary of the Nile, opposite Izbat al-Burj. There are approximately 25,000 permanent residents in the city. However, during the summer peak holiday season, from July to September, the population quickly expands to over 250,000.
Ras El Bar lies in a peninsula on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and it is bordered on the western by the Damietta Nile branch. The area of "Lessan" is located in the extreme northern part of this peninsula, and it is at this point where the Damietta Nile arm flows in the Mediterranean sea, which gives Ras El Bar the shape of a triangle.
The climate of Ras El Bar is very similar to that of Damietta, owing to its proximity, and contains a high percentage of iodine. Its climate is classified as hot desert (BWh) by Köppen-Geiger system.
Port Said, Kosseir, Ras El Bar, Baltim, Damietta and Alexandria have the least temperature variation in Egypt.
