In front of Djebel Hassany are several islands; and the sea is here particularly full of shoals and coral rocks, rising nearly to the surface; from the various colours of which, the water, when viewed from a distance, assumes all the hues of the rainbow.
At three days' journey by land and by sea from Yembo, as it is generally computed, lies the mountain called Djebel Hassany, reaching close to the shore; and from thence northward the lower range of the mountains are, in the vicinity of the beach, thinly inhabited throughout by Bedouins.
The water on the whole coast is bad, except at Wodjeh and at Dhoba. Wodjeh, which is usually reckoned at three days' journey northward from Djebel Hassany, is a castle on the Hadj route, about three miles inland.
