Isle of Graia, Gulf of Aqaba
An 1839 lithograph showing a caravan passing the Isle of Graia, along the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, one of two gulfs of the Red Sea, lying east of the Sinai Peninsula. The gulf is named after the city of Aqaba, Jordan's only seaport. It was formerly known as the Gulf of Eilat, after Aqaba's neighboring city Eilat, Israel.Lithograph: Louis Haghe; Artist: David Roberts; Restoration: Lise Broer
