Mersa Gawasis happens to be known for 30 years as a harbor on the Red Sea and in particular as the starting point of many expeditions leading to the Land of Punt (which appears in the Egyptian sources since the reign of Sahoure). The epigraphical material found there indicates expeditions loading at Mersa Gawasis under the reign of Sesostris I and Amenemhat III. Recently discovered at the end of a track between Memphis and the Gulf of Suez, Ayn Sukhna now shows a new example of Middle Kingdom’s harbour, once more, certainly closely linked to Sinai.
