History of the Red Sea Coast


The Red Sea Coast has a fascinating maritime history.

Once the main route to the Indies for Phoenician and ancient Egyptian traders, many ships have sailed - and sunk - in its waters. In those days, trade vessels bearing copper, cooking pots and clothing departed from el-Qusier and Berenice and returned with spices and gems. The area is rich in legends involving pirates, smugglers, mercenaries and pilgrims.

After the opening of the Suez Canal is 1869, it continued to hold its status as a key international trade route and link to the East.
