Rocky Island (Egypt)

Rocky Island (Arabic: جزيرة روكي) is a small off-shore island of the Red Sea, lying 60–70 kilometres (37–43 mi) from the coast, out in the Red Sea Governorate of Egypt.^[1] This tiny uninhabited island gets some shelter from Zabargad Island (6 km [3.7 mi] to the northwest), but also gets fed from north–south currents, which attract lots of pelagic species that feed on or visit the resident marine life.^[2]
