HURGHADA, Egypt (Reuters) - Egypt hosts next month's COP27 climate summit at a Red Sea resort, where climate change and human activity are threatening one of the world's most prized coral reefs.

A key attraction for tourists and habitat for fish nurseries, Egypt's corals fringe coastal towns including Hurghada, Marsa Alam, and Sharm el-Sheikh - where the U.N. conference takes place Nov. 6-18.
