About
Pharaoh's Island (Arabic: جَزِيْرَةُ فِرعَون Jazīratu Firʽawn), whose current popular name is Coral Island, is a small island in the northern Gulf of Aqaba some 250 metres (820 ft) east off the shore of Egypt's eastern Sinai Peninsula. Some scholars identify this island port with biblical Ezion-Geber. The island holds the ruins of a medieval fortress, officially known as Saladin's Castle.
