The Buri Peninsula is an area of land in the
Ghela'elo subregion of Eritrea, that juts out into the Red Sea. To its west lies the
Gulf of Zula, also known as Annesley Bay, with the village of
Arafali at its head. To the north of the peninsula is the Massawa Channel and a group of islands, the
Dahlak Archipelago, the largest and closest to the mainland being
Dahlak Kebir. To the east of the peninsula lies
Howakil Bay, a broad bay, scattered with islands, the largest of which is
Howakil Island, and to the south lies a ridge of low hills. The peninsula is generally low and undulating, composed of lava flows at the southern end and granite at the north. It is about long and wide, with a constriction wide in the middle. Further inland to the south are volcanic hills, some conical and others located on ridges, with small sandy plains between them. The highest mountains on the peninsula is
Mount Abdur near the west coast and
Mount Dureli near the tip. There is a large salt-water lagoon near the middle. Much of the coast is fringed with reefs. ==Wildlife==
