Port of Gaza, seaport in Gaza City, Palestine

The Port of Gaza is a seaport along the Mediterranean coast with docking facilities and infrastructure for maritime activities. Its installations handle small to medium-sized vessels, serving local fishing operations and limited commercial shipping needs.

The port was built by the Palestinian National Authority. In earlier times the harbour of Maiuma, called el Mineh in Arabic, stood in this area; Pierre Jacotin marked it as Majumas on his 1799 map, and the 1883 Survey of Western Palestine linked el Mineh to ancient Maiuma. In 2002 Israeli forces attacked the Palestinian Naval Police facilities after commanders were implicated in the Karine A affair.

The port's earlier name, el Mineh, is Arabic for "the harbour", and the area is identified with the Roman-era port of Maiuma, also called Constantia. In 2011 a storm washed ashore eight Roman columns, and in 2013 the Palestinian Naval Police found ancient poles and baked clay there. Today the port is the base of the Palestinian Naval Police and home to small-scale Palestinian fishing boats.

Since 2007 the port has been under an Israeli naval blockade, and activities are limited to small-scale fishing; the Palestinian Naval Police, based here, operates within 6 nautical miles of the coast under the Oslo II Accord. Access is not open to general visitors, and the 2024 floating pier was dismantled in July of that year.

In 2011 a storm washed eight Roman columns ashore at the port; they are thought to belong to a church of around 335 AD, from the Roman era when the area was called Maiuma or Constantia. In 2013 the Palestinian Naval Police found further ancient artefacts, including poles and baked clay.
