Tiran Island
Tiran Island is a part of the national park and so are the four popular reefs in the Straits of Tiran. In our days the name "Tiran" means to us; peaceful azure blue lagoons, great snorkeling and great diving, in the past, however, the island had another purpose. An old Bedouin legend tells, that once there was a Saudi Arabian princess named Sanafir, she was deeply in love with a man called Tiran. Her father forbid their love and separated the young couple on two different islands in the Red Sea. She cried for him, he cried for her, their love meant everything to them. The brave Tiran threw himself into the waves to reach his beloved Sanafir, but he got surrounded by sharks and his days were numbered. The legend continues: "if you listen carefully, you can still hear the wind carrying the voice of the princess calling for her love". Since that time the islands are known as Tiran and Sanafir.
