The Gulf of Suez, a historical and captivating region, holds numerous tales within its waters. As I gaze upon an antique map of the Middle East, Egypt, Syria, and Israel come to life before my eyes, and is here that the magnificent Suez Canal takes center stage - a gateway connecting continents. A vivid image captures my attention: a ship gracefully entering the Red Sea near Port Tewfic in 1900. The color photochrom transports me back in time, revealing the bustling maritime activity that once thrived in this area. But not all stories are filled with triumph. Engraved on paper lies the haunting scene of the wrecked Bombay Mail-Steamer Carnatic at Shadwan Island in the Gulf of Suez. The tragedy unfolds as another engraving depicts efforts to recover its precious cargo from these treacherous depths. Intriguingly, even marine monsters find their place amidst these narratives. An engraving showcases yet another mysterious creature lurking beneath these turquoise waters – a testament to both fear and fascination. Turning our attention towards history's pages, we encounter a map illustrating Turkey's attack on the Suez Canal during World War I. This visual representation allows us to grasp how significant this strategic location was during times of conflict. Zooming out into space brings forth an awe-inspiring sight: Earth viewed from above reveals Sinai Peninsula's majestic presence within Egypt. NASA's c1980s photograph reminds us of our planet's beauty and fragility simultaneously. Delving deeper into time again leads us to 1882 when Suez itself stood witness to events unfolding around it - perhaps hinting at moments that shaped its destiny forevermore. Finally, we find ourselves basking under sun umbrellas on Makman el Tiyha beach along Janub Sina in the Gulf of Suez. Here tranquility reigns supreme as visitors soak up golden rays while admiring stunning views across this captivating region.
