Encyclopedia > Tiran

Tiran is an island at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba belonging to Saudi Arabia. The island is controlled by Egypt, due to the presence of an observation post that is controlled by the Multinational Force and Observers and an Egyptian Coastal Patrol post. To its east is Saudi Arabia, and to its north are Israel and Jordan. It is considered to be of strategic significance in the area.


Some believe that this is the biblical location where the red sea was parted.


Today, it has more minefields on it than some continents. It is inhabited only by military personnel from the US and ARE, snakes, and a pack of wild dogs.
