From Wikipedia

Suakin or Sawakin (Arabic: سواكن, Sawākin; Beja: Oosook) is a port city in northeastern Sudan, on the west coast of the Red Sea. It was formerly the region's chief port, but is now secondary to Port Sudan, about 50 kilometres (30 mi) north. Suakin used to be considered the height of medieval luxury on the Red Sea, but the old city built of coral is now in ruins. In 1983, the adjacent historic mainland town, known as the Geyf, had a population of 18,030. In 2008, Suakin had a population of 82,150 according to the census of the same year. Ferries run daily from Suakin to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
