Shalateen ( ', ; also spelled Shalatin and Shalatayn') is the biggest town in the Halaib Triangle, a disputed territory claimed by both Egypt and Sudan. It is located south of Hurghada and is controlled as the administrative center (markaz'') of all Egyptian territory up to the border between Egypt and Sudan, including the villages of: Abu Ramad, to the southeast; Halaib, to the southeast; Ras Hadarba to the southeast. Ras Hadarba or Cape Hadarba lies on the shores of the Red Sea to the southeast of the city of Halayib and to the east of mount Hadarba from which it takes its name. The village of Ras Hadarba lies just north of the borders between Egypt and the Sudan which run along the 22 degree north parallel of latitude; Marsa Hameera, to the north; and Abrak, to the west.
The first three of the above towns (Abu Ramad, Halayib and Ras Hadarba) are located within the disputed Hala'ib Triangle.
