Extract

For half a century, the Egyptians have been concerned about the coverage of all their local waters in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea with visual and electronic aids to navigation. As a result, they constructed several lighthouses and landmarks as separate entities. Long years of political friction and military conflict in the Middle East resulted in damage to the majority of visual and primitive aids to navigation, particularly in the Gulf of Suez (GOS), the Gulf of Aqaba (GOA) and the Red Sea.
