A map of the Philippines showing the island groups of Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. As an archipelago, the Philippines comprises about 7,641 islands [1] [2] clustered into three major island groups: Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. Only about 2,000 islands are inhabited, [3] and more than 5,000 are yet to be officially named. [2]
The Gulf of Aqaba is rich with marine life. The gulf is home to approximately 500 fish species, with many being permanent residents, like lion fish and octopus, while others are migratory, typically appearing during the summer, such as sailfish, considered the fastest fish in the ocean, as well as the world's largest fish, the whale shark.

Pharaoh's Island (Arabic: جَزِيْرَةُ فِرعَون Jazīratu Firʽawn), whose current popular name is Coral Island, [1] is a small island in the northern Gulf of Aqaba some 250 metres (820 ft) east off the shore of Egypt's eastern Sinai Peninsula. Some scholars identify this island port with biblical Ezion-Geber. [2]
The gulf stretches between and is surrounded by the main section of Mindanao on the east, and the Zamboanga Peninsula of Mindanao on the west. The peninsula's major drainage goes towards the gulf. [2] Sibuguey Bay and Illana Bay are its major bays. Zamboanga City, which is an international port, is bound by the Gulf and Celebes Sea in the East. [3]
