Tiran Island, Red Sea island in Tabuk Governorate, Saudi Arabia
Tiran Island spans 80 square kilometers at the entrance of the Straits of Tiran, featuring numerous coral reefs and marine ecosystems in clear waters.
The island changed sovereignty from Egypt to Saudi Arabia through a maritime border agreement signed in 2016 and ratified by Egypt in 2017.
Military personnel from Egypt and the Multinational Force and Observers have maintained a continuous presence on the island, shaping its modern character.
Visitors can reach the island through boat trips departing from Sharm El-Sheikh, with opportunities for diving and exploring the diverse marine environment.
The island functions as a strategic control point for shipping access to the Gulf of Aqaba, affecting maritime traffic to major ports like Eilat.
