Mersa Gawasis (Ancient Egyptian ''(unicode:Saww)'') is a small Egyptian harbour on the Red Sea and a former Egyptian port city. The harbour lies at the mouth of Wadi Gawasis, 2 km south of the mouth of Wadi Gasus. 25 km north is the city of Safaga and 50 km south al-Qusair. The place was apparently used as a port in the reigns of Senusret I to Amenemhat IV〔El-Sayed Mahfouz: ''Amenemhat IV at Wadi Gawasis'', Bulletin de l'Institut français d'archéologie orientale A. (BIFAO) 2010, vol. 110, 〕 of the 12th Dynasty, and served as a loading point for expeditions to Punt. The harbour was also a starting point for journeys to the mines of Sinai.〔Sayed: ''Wadi Gasus'' in: Bard, ''Encyclopedia of the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt'', 1999, S. 868.〕 == Etymology == ''Mersa'' means ''port'', and ''Gawasis'' is a medieval term for ''scout boat''.〔Sayed: ''Wadi Gasus'' in: Bard, ''Encyclopedia of the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt'', 1999, S. 866.〕
