Ancient Egyptians were among the pioneers of maritime trade, utilizing the Nile River as a vital artery for transporting goods such as timber, ivory, and precious stones. They developed robust wooden cargo ships crafted from local acacia and imported cedar, which played a crucial role in Egypt's economic prosperity and cultural expansion. These ships were equipped with sails strategically positioned to harness the wind, enabling efficient navigation against the Nile's currents.
The ancient Egyptians' maritime prowess extended beyond the Nile, as their cargo ships ventured into the Mediterranean Sea, facilitating trade with neighboring civilizations. These voyages were not merely commercial endeavors but also contributed to cultural exchange and diplomatic relations, solidifying Egypt's status as a dominant regional power during antiquity.

The Gulf of Aqaba or Gulf of Eilat is a large gulf at the northern tip of the Red Sea, east of the Sinai Peninsula and west of the Arabian Peninsula. Its coastline is divided among four countries: Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Trade across the Red Sea between Thebes port of Elim and Elat at the head of the gulf is documented as early as the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. Expeditions crossing the Red Sea and heading south to Punt are mentioned in the fifth, the sixth, the eleventh, the twelfth and the eighteenth dynasties of Egypt, when Hatshepsut built a fleet to support the trade and journeyed south to Punt in a six-month voyage. Thebes used Nubian gold or Nub from her conquests south into Kush to facilitate the purchase of frankincense, myrrh, bitumen, natron, juniper oil, linen, and copper amulets for the mummification industry at Karnak. Egyptian settlements near Timna at the head of the gulf date to the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt.
At the northern edge, the ancient city of Ayla (in present-day Aqaba) was a commercial hub for the Nabateans. The Romans built the Via Traiana Nova, which joined the King's Highway at Aqaba and connected Africa to Asia and the Levant and Red Sea shipping.
Aqaba was a major Ottoman port, connected to Damascus and Medina by the Hejaz railway. During World War I, the Battle of Aqaba was the key battle that ended a 500-year Ottoman rule over Greater Syria. #aqaba#redsea#jordan#israel#saudiarabia#egypt#aroundtheworld#instamood#instacool#instatravel#instastyle#style#worldwithoutend#worldisnotenough#amazingworld#amazingplaces#flyingserbs#skywalker#catchmeifyoucan#flyingbigjets#fyp#boeing747#aviation#b7478
