Gulf of Sidra
Gulf of Sidra is a body of water in the Mediterranean Sea on the northern coast of Libya; it is also known as Gulf of Sirte or the Great Sirte or Greater Syrtis (Latin ''Syrtis Major'', Greek , contrasting with ''Syrtis Minor'' in Tunisia). Syrtis is referred to in the New Testament of the Bible〔Acts 27:10-19〕 where the Apostle Paul relates being sent in chains to Rome to stand trial before Caesar Nero. The crew of his ship was worried about being driven by a storm into Syrtis,〔For usage see Deissmann, Adolf (1912) ''St. Paul: a study in social and religious history'' Hodder and Stoughton, London, (page 268 ) footnote 1, 〕 and took precautions to prevent it, resulting, eventually, in being shipwrecked on the island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea.

The Gulf of Sidra has been a major centre for tuna fishing in the Mediterranean for centuries. It gives its name to the city of Sirte situated on its western side.
The gulf measures from the promontory of Boreum (now Ras Teyonas) on the East side to the promontory of Cephalae (Ras Kasr Hamet) on the West. The greatest extension of the gulf inland is land inward〔()〕 and occupies an area of 57,000 square kilometers.〔(LexisNexis )〕
