Bab Iskender
The Bab Iskender ( Alexander's Strait) is the eastern side (2 miles/3 km wide and 16 fathoms/30 m deep) of the Bab-el-Mandeb straits separating Ras Menheli, Yemen, on the Arabian Peninsula and Ras Siyan, Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa. The Yemeni island of Perim divides the strait into two channels.
