Arabs Gulf
The Arabs Gulf, also known as the Arab Gulf or Arab Bay (all translating the Arabic name Khalij el-Arab) is a large bay to the west of Alexandria in Egypt. It is not to be confused with the Arabian Gulf (a historic name for the Red Sea).

Geologically, the Gulf is the result of the Arab Gulf Synclinal Basin, one of a succession of synclines along the northern coast of Africa.

Just west of the apex of the Gulf is a community, developed as an oil port but now a resort, which had little significance before the Second World War: El Alamein, site of the famous 1942 battles.
