The Dungonab Bay is south-facing and is located 130 km to the north of Port Sudan. Its mid part, the Rawayah Lagoon, is surrounded by coral reefs. Together with Mukkawar Island and Sanganeb (an isolated coral reef), the area was declared the Dungonab Bay – Mukkawar Island Marine National Park and became a World Heritage Site in 2016.[5] It has been designated as a protected Ramsar site since 2009.[2]
