A view of the Red Sea hills from Hurghada, Egypt taken by me in late 2021-early 2022
The mountain range in the back is the Itbay or the Red Sea Hills on the left you'll find Jabal Shayib al Banat which is the second highest peak in Egypt after Saint Catherine and the highest in the Itbay
Shayib al Banat or "old man of the girls"
The old man part comes from the fact that the top of the mountain is white so it looks like an old man with white hair
the girls part comes from a girl named Selima or Salma (I've seen both in different sources) from the Beja tribe of the Ababda who fell off the mountain so they put al Banat
The itbay spans the Eastern Desert of Egypt and Sudan is mainly inhabited by the Beja and at the very north you'll find some Arab tribes like the Ma'aza who migrated to the region
southeastern corner of egypt in the halayeb triangle

@jstor thanks
HEY GUYS no blogging today for me :(
I'M GOING TO QUSEIR
A 5000 year old city with varied architecture and peoples and BEAUTIFUL beaches and very historic sites
quseirs main native inhabitants are ABABDA :DDDDDD!!!!
i have actually SOOO much family there like i could be at a place that requires like a subscription or something and i could tell the guy my full 10-part name and he could be like "Oh we're family have a discount" so like tribal privilege i guess
and i actually lowkey wanna see my extended family
my dads family are ORIGINALLY from quseir so yeah
AND THE MARINE BIODIVERSITY OOF ITS SO DIVERSE one time i was at my great great great great great great great grandfathers tomb ( yes actually im being serious) 50 km south of quseir and i just had my hands in the water and i just ACCIDENTALLY FOUND A SEA CUCUMBER IN MY HANDS and there are also like dugongs turtles and dolphins and sharks and stuff
Dugong in Quseir
did i mention it's historic?
theres like an ottoman castle
it also went by different names throughout history
Pharoanic period: Tjau (couldn't find a meaning)
Ptolemaic period:Leucus Limen which mentwhite port
Roman period:Myos Hormos which meant Harbour of the Mussels
Islamic period: Quseir derived from the arabic word for short this name was used because it was the shortest like path to mecca from upper egypt or just the shortest path between upper egypt and the red sea
