Archaeologists uncover ancient seaport in Dahab

http://www.algomhuria.net.eg/gazette/1/
"Egyptian archaeologists have uncovered a 2,200-year old port in the Red Sea city of Dahab, the Culture Ministry announced yesterday.
The findings, located 140 kilometres from Taba, include a space of about 38 metres long and 40 metres wide, the Ministry said.At another section of the port, archaeologists found what looks to have been 24 storage rooms, it added. Further digging will occur to better identify the monument, the ministry said."
I'm afraid that this is the entire bulletin on the Egyptian Gazette website. Hopefully something else will emerge shortly.
