About Farasan Islands
The Farasan Islands, are an archipelago in the Red Sea, located some 40 km off the coast of Jizan. Most of the archipelago falls within Saudi Arabia, although its southern extension is Yemeni. The Islands have since Roman times constituted a stopping-off point for maritime activity and, at times, a base for naval forces in the southern Red Sea region. Administratively, the islands form the Farasan Islands Governorate of Jazan Province.
