Bir Tawil (Egyptian Arabic: بير طويل, romanised: Bīr Ṭawīl, lit. 'tall water well', [biːɾ tˤɑˈwiːl]) is a 2,060 km2 (795.4 mi2) area of land along the border between Egypt and Sudan which is claimed by neither country. Together with the neighbouring Halaib Triangle, it is sometimes called the Bir Tawil Triangle (Bartazoja Triangle), despite its quadrilateral shape; the two regions border at a quadripoint.
